accesso® enables virtual queue for Cassatt exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art

ORLANDO, Florida., 20 August 2024 /PRNewswire/ — accesso Technology Group (AIM: ACSO), the leading provider of technology solutions for leisure, entertainment and cultural markets worldwide, is pleased to partner with the Philadelphia Museum of Art (PMA) to develop the award-winning LoQueue access® virtual queuing system for the eagerly awaited exhibition Mary Cassatt at work. This project follows a working history between Accesories and the Philadelphia Museum of Art since 2014. This latest project promises to enhance the visitor experience by avoiding long lines and allowing guests to explore the museum while waiting to view this important collection of the celebrated Pennsylvania-born artist.

Mary Cassatt, a representative of the French Impressionists, challenged the conventional expectations of Philadelphia’s Elite. The exhibition Mary Cassatt at work presents over 130 different works and highlights the artist’s evolving practice and her serious engagement with the realities of gender and work.

With such a popular exhibition, the museum expected a high volume of visitors and was looking for a solution to manage the crowds and encourage participation without compromising the experience. LoQueue by accesso The solution offers visitors the opportunity to join a digital queue via their smartphone upon arrival, giving them the opportunity to explore nearby galleries, enjoy a coffee or relax at their own pace until entering the exhibition.

Paul DienChief Marketing Officer at the Philadelphia Museum of Artshared his enthusiasm for virtual queues:

“Giving people the ability to leave their phone waiting in line has been a game changer for us. The LoQueue sign-in process is simple for visitors and we’ve also created an easy way for guests without smart devices to join the virtual queue, making it accessible to everyone.”

The system has transformed the museum’s admission process to special exhibitions and solved common problems related to queues.
