Measure Attention, Not Just Admissions
Which exhibitions hold people and for how long, gallery-by-gallery occupancy, and visitation evidence for the funding bodies that ask for it. Counted, never identified.
The Door Count Ends at the Door
Admissions tell you how many people came in. They do not tell you which rooms people walked through, what held them, what they skipped, or how long the queue for the headline exhibition really was.
Measuring visitation room by room answers the questions curators and funders actually ask, and gives every exhibition a figure it can be compared on.
What You Can Finally Report
Visitation by space
Counts and occupancy for every gallery, wing and outdoor space, not just the front door.
Dwell and attention
How long people stay in a room, and which spaces they pass straight through.
Flow and queues
Live crowding at popular exhibitions and timed-entry points, so staff can open a room or hold a queue before it is uncomfortable.
Exhibitions compared
Every show measured the same way, so the next curatorial decision rests on more than a sense of the room.
Evidence for funders
Visitation and engagement for the reporting period a funding body asks for, with the method documented.
Screens that respond
Crowd-aware signage points visitors to quieter galleries and to what is on next.
Choose, Measure, Report
- 01
Choose the spaces
The galleries, exhibitions or entries you want to understand. We plan node positions from floor plans, around the works rather than in front of them.
- 02
Measure discreetly
Small nodes on walls and ceilings, on mains or battery. Nothing to rewire and nothing in a visitor’s way.
- 03
Report and decide
Visitation, dwell and flow by space and by exhibition, ready for curatorial meetings, boards and funders.
Institutions That Report on Visitors
Museums and galleries
Room-by-room visitation and dwell, and evidence for the next exhibition and the next grant.
Attractions and heritage sites
Visitor flow and queues across buildings and grounds, indoors and out.
Libraries and cultural centres
Use of spaces and events, measured for councils and boards.
Touring exhibitions
The same measurement at every venue, so a tour can be compared stop by stop.
No Names. No Faces. No Devices Tied to a Person.
Visitors are counted, never identified, so measuring a gallery does not change what it feels like to be in one.
The nodes count and measure movement. They never identify anyone, there is no facial recognition, and no names, faces or devices are tied to a person. You get the number without collecting anything about the people it counts.
CultureSense, Answered
Will visitors notice the nodes?
They are small and mount on walls and ceilings away from the works. Most visitors never see them.
Do you collect anything about who visitors are?
No. Nodes count and measure movement; they do not identify anyone or use facial recognition.
Can it support our funding acquittals?
Yes. Visitation and dwell export for any reporting period, with the method written down so the figure can be checked.
Can we measure one exhibition first?
Yes. Many institutions start with a single exhibition and extend once the numbers prove useful.
