Hello!
We recently used QR codes as part of our 26 Treasures project at National Museum of Scotland. 26 writers were each assigned an object from our Scotland collection, and each wrote a 62-word piece about that object. Their words were displayed next to the objects in thegalleries, and, by scanning a QR code, visitors could also hear the writers reading their works. You can read more about it in this blog post by Hugh Wallace, our head of department:

While we didn't get huge numbers of people scanning the codes, it was a nice way to engage people who were really interested, and also a very useful learning exercise about the practicalities of displaying QR codes in dark, underground galleries!
The most scanned object was of course the grisliest, The Maiden...
All the best,
Elaine
