a:Muse offers a unique, updated overview on the most important museums, their collections, exhibitions and events for the first time. A steadily increasing number of museums presents their most valuable artefacts, their collection highlights and specifics about each museum in a very comprehensive way.

Consistent editorial care and support help to ensure that all content is accurate and up to date. A “favourites” button gives quick access to your favourite museums or exhibitions.

The sophisticated search engine enables different search features, such as full text or category of artefact, or period of art. Geographical search delivers exact location of the museum and how to get there.

Many museums offer additional audio guides, high-resolution pictures of exhibition highlights and extensive meta-information on collections and artists and/or even short movies about the history of the collection, referring to architecture or other museum’s surroundings.

A user friendly update feature easily permits to download newly edited content of museums recently joining the a:Muse portal.
