Specifically for 'In Fine Style', which has just closed at The Queen's Gallery Buckingham Palace we used a multimedia tour for the first time. Feedback has generally been good but yes we had to consider where we wanted to stops and think about visitor flow and the hang in terms of this but without compromising the overall narrative of the exhibition.

Hi there,
We are considering offering an audio/multimedia guide free with the price of an exhibition ticket for one of our exhibitions in the future.
Aside from Bowie at the V&A, does anyone know of a museum or gallery that has done this?
I am less interested in a tour for a venue or site, but specifically for an exhibition. I expect that we will need to consider how the exhibition itself is designed to take visitor flow and congestion into consideration, and wanted to hear from anyone who has experienced it.
I did see (and hear) Bowie, but we are unlikely to have such a volume of audio material, and use the same technology for our exhibition.
Many thanks,
Matthew Cock
