In a previous post about the plasma screens that will entice and guide visitors in the new Bloch Building next year, I mentioned another tool that visitors will find very helpful. This week, five kiosks were unpacked and prepared for installation.
These three kiosks have been installed in the lobby of the Bloch Building, just around the corner from one set of the plasma screens. At the kiosks, visitors will be able to buy tickets for exhibitions and programs, pay for parking and even find where a specific work of art is in the galleries as well as the location of restrooms and other amenities. Hooray for technology!

I'm currently exploring the use of kiosks in our own lobby here at the MFA in Boston. Do you think you could provide the name of the vendor you are using for these kiosks.
Thanks,

Keith –
Thanks for your interest. The kiosks we are using are from a company called Kiosk Information Systems, they were chosen for their looks as well as their functionality. Bundled with this hardware we will be using SiteKiosk, a software package specialized in kiosk presentation. With these products we will be able to offer our visitors information at their fingertips from current locations of art objects to tickets for our next lecture.
