===Interpretation Project===
The Interpretation Project was a long-term project concerned with bringing St Paul's to life for all its visitors. In 2010, the [[Dean and Chapter of St Paul's]] opened St Paul's Oculus, a 270° film experience that brings 1400 years of history to life.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.stpauls.co.uk/Cathedral-History/Discover-the-Crypt/Oculus-an-eye-into-St-Pauls |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110831145534/http://www.stpauls.co.uk/Cathedral-History/Discover-the-Crypt/Oculus-an-eye-into-St-Pauls |url-status=dead |title=Oculus: an eye into St Paul's |archive-date=31 August 2011}}</ref> It was located in the former Treasury in the crypt, the film took visitors on a journey through the history and daily life of St Paul's Cathedral. Oculus was funded by American Express Company in partnership with the [[World Monuments Fund]], J. P. Morgan, the Garfield Weston Trust for St Paul's Cathedral, the City of London Endowment Trust and AIG. It was closed by 2020. The Treasury space is now used for changing exhibitions.

In 2010, touchscreen multimedia guides were launched. These guides are included in the price of admission. Visitors can discover the cathedral's history and architecture, and learn about the daily life of a busy working church with these new multimedia guides. They are available in 12 different languages: [[English language|English]], [[French language|French]], [[German language|German]], [[Italian language|Italian]], [[Spanish language|Spanish]], [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]], [[Polish language|Polish]], [[Russian language|Russian]], [[Mandarin Chinese|Mandarin]], [[Japanese language|Japanese]], [[Korean language|Korean]] and [[British Sign Language]] (BSL). The guides have fly-through videos of the dome galleries and zoomable close-ups of the ceiling mosaics, painting, and photography. Interviews and commentary from experts include the [[Dean of St Paul's]], the conservation team, and the Director of Music. Archive film footage includes major services and events from the cathedral's history.

====Charges for sightseers====
St Paul's charges an entrance fee for sightseers; admission to worship services is free. The entrance ticket is £25 for adults (June 2024).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.stpauls.co.uk/ticket-types-and-prices/ |title=Ticket types and prices |publisher=St. Paul's Cathedral |access-date=14 August 2024}}</ref> Outside service times, people seeking a quiet place to pray or worship are admitted to St Dunstan's Chapel free of charge. On Sundays people are admitted only for services and concerts and there is no sightseeing. The charge to sightseers is made because St Paul's receives little regular or significant funding from the Crown, the Church of England or the state and relies on the income generated by tourism to allow the building to continue to function as a centre for Christian worship, as well as to cover general maintenance and repair work.<ref>{{cite web |title=Why do we charge? |url=https://www.stpauls.co.uk/visit/why-do-we-charge |website=St Paul's Cathedral |access-date=16 January 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190117122337/https://www.stpauls.co.uk/visit/why-do-we-charge |archive-date=17 January 2019 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.stpauls.co.uk/tickets |title=Book Tickets – St Paul's Cathedral |publisher=Stpauls.co.uk |date= |access-date=14 March 2022 |archive-date=10 February 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220210111204/https://www.stpauls.co.uk/tickets |url-status=live }}</ref>
