Free Gallery Talk Timer

Use a gallery talk timer for intro, artwork one, artwork two, questions, next steps, and close. Create an XTimer room when speakers, docents, curators, visitors, AV teams, and education staff need shared gallery talk timing.

Built for this job

Gallery program teams can separate intro, artwork one, artwork two, questions, next steps, and close.

Venue teams can keep the program moving without replacing talk outlines, gallery rules, accessibility plans, curator notes, AV run sheets, and venue instructions.

XTimer rooms support shared gallery talk timers across speakers, docents, curators, visitors, AV teams, and education staff devices.

Professional setup

Use the simple timer first, then graduate to controlled timing.

Use talk outlines, gallery rules, accessibility plans, curator notes, AV run sheets, and venue instructions as the source of truth.

Use the timer for talk pacing only, not for interpretation, conservation, safety, accessibility, security, or venue policy decisions.

Keep talk notes, artwork notes, question notes, AV notes, accessibility notes, and program feedback in the approved museum, gallery, venue, school, retail, or event system.

Use an XTimer room when speakers, docents, curators, visitors, AV teams, and education staff need one shared gallery talk countdown.
