At Vernissaria, we believe that every piece of art deserves a voice beyond the frame. With one click, you can generate a unique QR code for each artwork on your website — linking the real world with the digital one.
Whether you’re preparing for a gallery exhibition, selling works at an art fair, or simply showcasing your creations in a studio, our system allows visitors to scan a QR code and instantly discover more: details about the piece, your story, related works, and even interactive statistics.
This guide walks you through the full process — from installation to insight. No technical skills needed, just your art and your vision.
