Built for museums and galleries
Interactive museum maps that help visitors find the art, not get lost looking for it
Give visitors a searchable, multilingual map of every gallery, exhibit and amenity, with step-free routes and exhibit trails that open in any phone browser and on lobby kiosks.
What the map gives you
Exhibit trails visitors can follow room by room
Step-free routes across floors, wings and buildings
One map you update the day a temporary exhibition opens
The problem
Why museum maps break down
Museum buildings grow over decades, and the printed map in the lobby rarely keeps up with how visitors actually move through them.
Wings, mezzanines and connecting galleries confuse first-time visitors
Historic buildings joined by later extensions create split levels and dead ends that a folded paper map cannot explain, so visitors loop back or ask the front desk.
Temporary exhibitions make the printed map wrong overnight
Every time a special exhibition opens, closes or moves a gallery, the printed map and the website PDF go out of date until the next reprint.
Accessible routes are hidden or missing
Visitors using wheelchairs, strollers or mobility aids need to know where the lifts and step-free paths are before they set off, not after they hit a staircase.
International visitors cannot read the map
A map printed in one language leaves tourists guessing at gallery names and facilities, and translating every printed edition is slow and expensive.
What changes with ExpoFP
ExpoFP turns your floor plan into a live, browser-based map that your team edits once and every visitor sees immediately.
Visitors search instead of scanning
Typing "Impressionism", "Gallery 12" or "café" finds the exhibit or amenity and draws a route to it from where the visitor stands.
Changes go live instantly
When a temporary exhibition opens or a gallery closes for rehang, you edit the map in the browser and the update appears on phones and kiosks at once.
Accessible routing is built in
Turn-by-turn wayfinding includes accessible routes across floors and buildings, so step-free visitors get a path that works for them.
The same map speaks many languages
Floor plans can be published in multiple languages, including English, Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Korean, German, Spanish, French and Italian.
Core features
Exhibit and gallery search
Visitors search by gallery name, exhibit, collection or amenity, and filter by category such as permanent collection, special exhibition, family areas or facilities. They can save favorites to build their own visit plan.
Exhibit trails (guided tours)
ExpoFP's guided tours let you publish curated routes on the map, such as "Highlights in 60 minutes", "Family trail" or "New acquisitions". Visitors follow the trail stop by stop instead of guessing what to see next.
Accessible wayfinding across floors and buildings
Turn-by-turn directions cover multiple floors, wings and buildings, with accessible routes for visitors who need lifts and step-free paths. The area map can show entrances, parking and transport around the museum.
Kiosks with "you are here"
Place standing kiosks in the lobby or at gallery junctions with a "you are here" marker. Kiosks cache the map, can run in full offline mode, and report usage per kiosk.
Multilingual, app-free access
The map runs in any mobile or desktop browser with no app download and no sign-in, so visitors can scan a QR code at the entrance and start navigating. QR-code positioning, outdoor GPS and blue-dot indoor positioning are available as project-level options.
Drag-and-drop editing and analytics
Your team updates gallery layouts in the FP Designer, or uploads an existing floor plan and the ExpoFP team builds it. Analytics show what visitors search for, which exhibits they view and which routes they take, so you can see what draws attention.
Who uses it
ExpoFP is used by 1,000+ trade shows and expos in 50+ countries, and the same map engine fits cultural venues. Typical uses in museums and galleries include:
- Large multi-wing museums that need search and step-free routing across several floors and connected buildings.
- Galleries with rotating programs that change temporary exhibition spaces several times a year.
- Museums with high tourist traffic that need the map in several languages.
- Science centers and family museums that publish themed exhibit trails for school groups and families.
- Museum-hosted events such as art fairs, design weeks or book fairs inside the building, where the same map handles exhibitor stands.
Live demo
What we show in the demo
01
Your building as an interactive map
We show how a museum floor plan becomes a zoomable, searchable map with galleries, exhibits and facilities as clickable spaces.
02
Search and category filters
We search for a gallery, an artwork and the nearest café, and filter by permanent collection versus special exhibition.
03
An exhibit trail from start to finish
We build a guided tour, publish it, and follow it on a phone as a visitor would.
04
Accessible routing between floors
We route from the main entrance to an upper-floor gallery using an accessible path through the lifts.
05
A kiosk and the analytics behind it
We show a kiosk with "you are here", then open analytics to see searches, exhibit views and routes.
