scan.art is now the official audio guide for all Ready to Show Art exhibitions. Starting with current European tours and expanding across the Middle East, every Ready to Show concept will feature scan.art’s multilingual audio and text guide to deepen visitor engagement and streamline operations for hosts.
What this partnership means
Ready to Show Art delivers turnkey, museum-quality exhibitions to malls, airports, companies and museums. scan.art now “travels” with these shows as the standard visitor guide, so venues get a fully integrated experience from walls and lighting to a seamless digital guide, staffing, and operations.

A guide built for touring exhibitions
Frictionless access, no app, no login
Visitors are onboarded at the entrance in seconds and can use their own phone for the entire show—without downloads, accounts, or forms. This removes a common barrier to adoption and ensures high usage across all age groups.
Three easy ways to explore
scan.art supports multiple modes depending on the venue and curatorial design:
- Image recognition of artworks and photos
- Simple QR scans when desired
- Number or text entry for quick access
This flexibility means hosts don’t need stickers or codes next to every piece, keeping the exhibition design clean while still giving visitors rich content at their fingertips.
Multilingual by design
Ready to Show concepts are prepared for diverse audiences. scan.art serves audio and text in multiple languages, aligning with Ready to Show’s multilingual content approach for the Middle East and beyond.
Why it matters for visitors
Longer visits, deeper engagement
In touring contexts we consistently see that when discovery is effortless and stories are a tap away, visitors linger longer and engage more—listening to audio, zooming into details, and following thematic trails rather than moving on after a quick glance.
One guide for the whole journey
Because onboarding happens once at the entrance, visitors can move freely through the space while the guide follows the narrative flow of the exhibition. That continuity encourages complete visits and repeat listening on highlights.
Why it matters for hosts
Zero additional hardware
No rental devices, no charging carts, no maintenance. scan.art runs on the visitor’s phone, which reduces cost, setup time, and operational complexity for touring shows that change location frequently.
Fast, tidy installation
With no need for labels or codes at each artwork, opening day prep is faster and wall surfaces remain gallery-clean—important for premium venues and high-traffic public spaces. This pairs naturally with Ready to Show’s modular wall and lighting systems.
Consistent quality across cities
Whether the show opens in a mall in Dubai, an airport concourse, or a museum in Europe, the guide experience remains consistent and multilingual, supporting Ready to Show’s cross-regional program.
Where you’ll experience it
The partnership covers Ready to Show’s portfolio, including current and upcoming concepts such as:
- View From Above — a journey around Earth through the photography of NASA astronaut Terry Virts.
- Natural Wonders of the Middle East — modular sections designed for airports, malls, and museums, prepared in Arabic and English with optional audio.
- Architectural Wonders of the Middle East — from ancient ingenuity to cutting-edge skylines, supported by audio narratives and visual timelines.
- Inside the Sacred Cube: The Kaaba and the Rituals of Mecca — a culturally sensitive exhibition with bilingual access and audio guidance.
