Online Exhibitions

Custom web-based platforms for catalogues, artist archives and research-driven projects

Beyond Virtual Tours

Online Exhibitions provide a powerful digital alternative when a virtual tour or CGI gallery is not the most suitable format. They are designed for projects that require clear organisation of large volumes of cultural information, long-form curatorial content, extensive archives or research-led material.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Online Exhibition?

An Online Exhibition is a web-based platform designed to present artworks, objects, research material and curatorial content in a structured digital format. It prioritises clarity, accessibility and long-term preservation.

How does an Online Exhibition differ from a Virtual Tour?

A Virtual Tour recreates a physical exhibition space in 3D, while an Online Exhibition organises content into a digital publication format. It is ideal for catalogues, archives and research-focused projects.

Can Online Exhibitions handle large datasets?

Yes. Our platforms are designed for catalogues, collections and exhibitions that require extensive metadata, relational linking and controlled vocabularies.

Can an Online Exhibition integrate with an institution's existing database?

Yes. We can connect directly to existing databases using an API or build a custom back-end that mirrors your institutional structure.

Is this suitable for catalogue raisonne projects?

Yes. Online Exhibitions are ideal for catalogue raisonne due to their structured metadata, controlled vocabularies and relational architecture.
