From Collection to Exhibition
MuseumBuild helps museums, historical societies, and family collections take control of what they have, tell its story, and share it with the world — with an AI Museum Coach guiding every step.
Start your museum freeCatalog with confidence
Every object gets a permanent accession number automatically. Photos, descriptions, and categories — no spreadsheet chaos, nothing to configure first.
Always know where things are
Map your rooms, cabinets, and shelves once. Every move is recorded forever, so “where is it now” and “where has it been” always have an answer.
QR labels that just work
Print a label, stick it on a shelf or mount. Anyone who scans it sees exactly what you chose to make public — and nothing you didn't.
Private by default, public by choice
Your records are yours. Publishing an object shares only its approved name and story to your museum's public page — donor details, values, and locations never leave.
An AI Coach on staff
Ask how anything works and get a straight answer. Tell it “add the 1924 school bell” and it catalogs it for you — asking first when it isn't sure, never guessing.
Built for volunteers
If you can fill in one box, you can catalog an object. The platform handles the numbering, the history, and the rules behind the scenes — hard to get wrong on purpose.
Five minutes to a working museum
Name your museum, map a room, catalog your first object. The Coach walks you through the rest — and everything you enter is yours to export, always.
