Museum digital signage: a practical guide
Museum digital signage is a set of screens at the entrance, ticket desk, gallery doorways and gift shop that show exhibit information, tour and program times, wayfinding and donor recognition. With WidgitBoard you build each board in a drag-and-drop editor, open its link on a Smart TV or Fire TV Stick, and update it from any computer when an exhibit opens or a program changes. It costs $19.99 a month for every screen.
How to set up digital signage in a museum
- 1
Start from the museum template
Pick the museum board and add your institution name, logo and colors. It already has sections for exhibits, events and visitor information.
- 2
Add what visitors ask at the front desk
Hours, admission, today's tour and program times, accessibility information, and where to find restrooms, the cafe and coat check.
- 3
Put screens at decision points
Open each display link in the TV browser or on a Fire TV Stick at the entrance, ticket desk and main junctions, sign in once and go full screen.
- 4
Give each screen its own board
Create named displays such as Main Entrance, Ticket Desk, East Gallery, Education Wing and Gift Shop, and assign each a board. Schedules can switch the Main Entrance screen to an evening event board after closing.
What to show on museum screens
Current and upcoming exhibits
Title, image, gallery location and closing date for each exhibition, with a countdown to the next opening.
Today's tours and programs
Docent tour times, talks, films and family workshops from a calendar widget, so visitors plan their visit on arrival.
Wayfinding
A floor map image with directions to galleries, restrooms, elevators and the cafe near each entrance or junction.
Donor and sponsor recognition
Rotating boards thanking members, donors and exhibition sponsors, easy to update as gifts come in.
Gallery introductions
An image, short text and video beside a gallery doorway give context before visitors walk in.
Membership and gift shop
Membership benefits and how to join at the front desk, plus featured shop items related to the current exhibition.
What digital signage costs for a museum

- On per-screen plans, 8 screens cost $768–$1,920 a year.
- WidgitBoard costs $190 a year for all 8 screens — and any you add later.

Museum digital signage FAQ
What should a museum show on its lobby screens?
Hours and admission, current and upcoming exhibits, today's tours and programs, a wayfinding map, accessibility information and membership details. Donor recognition works well near the entrance or a main stairway.
Can each gallery screen show different content?
Yes. Each screen is a named display with its own link, QR code and board, so a gallery doorway can introduce its exhibit while the lobby shows the day's schedule. Changes reach signed-in screens within seconds.
Do I need special hardware for museum signage?
No. WidgitBoard runs in a web browser, so any Smart TV, Amazon Fire TV Stick, Raspberry Pi, tablet or computer connected to a screen works. There is no proprietary player to buy.
Can museum screens change for evening events or rentals?
Yes. Schedules switch boards by day and time on all screens or only the ones you pick, so the entrance can show an event welcome after closing and return to visitor information the next morning.
How much does digital signage cost for a museum?
WidgitBoard is $19.99 a month or $190 a year for unlimited screens. Per-screen signage tools typically charge $8 to $20 per screen per month, so an eight-screen museum pays $768 to $1,920 a year on those plans.
