Tessitura, a nonprofit technology company dedicated to helping arts and cultural organisations thrive, will be supporting the Science Museum Group with key functionality such as timed ticketing and contactless scanning when its five museums reopen to the public on 19 May.

As with their reopening in 2020 following the first lockdown, the Science Museum, the Science + Media Museum, the Science + Industry Museum, the Railway Museum and Locomotion, will take advantage of Tessitura technology for a safe and efficient transition.

Building strong relationships

Advance ticketing allows the Science Museum Group to take advantage of other Tessitura features as well, for instance, optional donations in the online purchase path and the opportunity to pre-book activities like Wonderlab, alongside automated pre-visit emails and automated post-visit surveys.

“Tessitura were fantastic in helping us to make that pivot quickly and smoothly, and in a really cost-effective way,” says Pete Dickinson, Director of Communications and Audience Insight, Science Museum Group. “We immediately had better data than we’ve ever had before. And we couldn’t have done it without a partner like Tessitura.”

Tessitura has the technical tools and operational insights to help arts and cultural organisations reopen effectively and build strong relationships with their customers.

Its powerful and flexible CRM system brings together key departments including ticketing, fundraising, membership, marketing, education, and front of house. In addition, intuitive analytics tools make it easy to discover business insights, draw connections, and turn data into concrete customer-facing action. Following the pandemic, features like timed admission, contactless scanning, and seamless digital solutions are more needed than ever.
