Visitors to the EAA Aviation Museum in Oshkosh now have access to more in-depth information about select exhibits, thanks to the introduction of self-guided QR codes on specific aircraft displays. The new “Inside The Hangar” tour allows visitors to scan QR codes with their smart devices to access additional details about the exhibits, all without needing to download a special app. The Synthesia software provides extra features such as detailed exhibit backgrounds, archival photographs not displayed in the museum, and other information not included on standard signage.

“Museum visitors across the country are increasingly looking for interactive experiences, and the Synthesia software enables us to offer much more depth to our exhibits than we could ever fit on a sign,” said Amelia Anderson, the EAA Aviation Museum collections curator. “This system also gives us the flexibility to share additional and behind-the-scenes information as we discover it. As interest grows, we plan to expand this feature to more exhibits in the coming year.” The first QR code can be found at the museum entrance, providing an overview of the self-guided tour option and its benefits. Currently, QR codes are available at several of EAA’s foundational aircraft, including the Mechanix Illustrated Baby Ace, Little Audrey, and Little Bonzo. The Huey helicopter exhibit in the Eagle Hangar also features this new interactive option.
