Rest, listen & enjoy
In museums, benches have a lot of different types of use. To take a rest, to sketch, to listen to the audio tour or – of course – to enjoy the artworks. An often-heard complaint in museums is that there is just too much to absorb. People tend to keep walking for hours through museums and are exhausted when they leave. Creating places where people can slow down helps your visitors to have a more relaxing visit.
Paul Klee had the perfect statement on the necessity of benches in museums: “To prevent the legs, as they tire, from interfering with the mind.”
Advantages of Museum Benches
Another advantage of museum benches is that they make the museum less formal. This is because there is more diversity in the way people interact. And when people are more at ease, they are more likely to come back another time to re-visit the exhibition.
Durable and sustainable
As a museum it is important to provide your visitors an unique experience. Not only the exhibition plays a vital role. Also durable and sustainable benches contribute to a great experience. Our museum benches are made in a sustainable and durable way. This means that the benches are top quality, sustainable and durable.

The real nice thing about Addon Furniture is that it even can add an extra layer to the experience, as our touchscreens and headphones can provide interesting background information.
Addons for interaction
Especially in museums there is often a lot to tell about the artworks. Information that you don’t want to add to that text board next to the object. This information can be made interactive in our touchscreens. Or you can, as we did in several museums, make a playlist with music that goes well with the paintings.
Addon Furniture provides museum benches with unique Addons such as a touchscreen holder or a small table. These Addons fit perfectly on our museum benches and sofas. It creates a unique experience for the visitor.
