The document introduces QRpedia.org, a project that uses QR codes linked to Wikipedia articles to provide museum visitors information about exhibits. QR codes on exhibits are scanned by visitors' phones, which then opens the article in their preferred language (automatically detected). This provides a low-cost, multi-lingual, and continually updated source of information for museums. Benefits include accessibility for anyone with a phone, articles available in over 150 languages, and cheap/easy implementation compared to developing custom content in many languages.
