Hi Barbara!
The museum exposes the information about QRpedia at the entrance, so the visitors know about it since the beginning of the visit. The information poster is the first attached file of the first email.
How do you see it? :-)
Hi,
congratulations Miguel! This is very facinating and indeed QR Pedia
Codes are are very attractive way to link Wikipedia articles to
exhibits in museums. Andy Maybett has stressed that several times
before.
How did You and or the museum solve the question to inform the viewer
of the QR code where he will arrive once scanned the code? Did a
legend to the QR code indicate that the trip will end in the Wikipedia
or did you indicate it by using the WP logo? In Germany there is quite
some interest for further use of QR Pedia codes, but I would love to
have the branding question solved.
Did WMUK and the QRPedia folks settle their appointments yet??
best regards

> Hi all.
>
> I am very pleased to present you the first GLAM collaboration started by
> Wikimedia Spain.
>
> In September we first contacted the press department of the Science Museum
> of Valladolid, one of the most important museums in the Spanish region of
> Castile and León. We did so because this museum was uploading materials to
> Wikimedia Commons and starting articles on the Spanish Wikipedia, so we
> assumed that they might be receptive to further cooperation... and here we
> are!
>
> After some meetings in October and November now we can see the first steps
> made by this GLAM cooperation.
>
> The Science Museum has included QRpedia codes in the exhibitions related
> with some scientists like Louis Pasteur, Dmitri Mendeleev or Rosalind
> Franklin. They have called this feature "Stars of the science", and the
> museum sees QRpedia codes as an unique opportunity to approach the ~2600
> foreign visitors per year they have.
>
> Furthermore, we have planned activities for the first months of 2013 like a
> Wikipedia workshop and an Edit-a-thon, but we will keep you posted about
> this in the coming months!
>
> I attach you some pictures of the final result and we will thank you any
> help with the translation of the article about the museum :-)
> (http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museo_de_la_Ciencia_de_Valladolid)
>
> PD: any suggestions about how to keep this posted on the Outreach wiki??

> Best,
