Poster here. We would have loved that, and it was one of our first proposal - a QR code or some kind of marker. However, the client is understandably very controlling on the aesthetics of their wall as a central element of their scenography. We would have pushed for it again in the last resort, but would probably have lost the contract.

This is completely offtopic, but I would bet it was a government-funded museum. A reasonable institution would have worked with you to find an acceptable compromise, something much easier to implement with a small sacrifice of aesthetics.

Anyway, great work, and thank you for taking the time to share it!

Really? I would much less expect a government museum to be particular about aesthetics. Privately run museums/collections/exhibitions on the other hand tend to have very finicky owners -- after all, they're putting up their own money to achieve their vision, and so of course they tend to not want to compromise on how it might look.
