Culture Index exists to catalog cultural institutions online, and highlight the best practices that inspire us.
Launching with a focus on museums and building from there, we are a resource for both research and discovery. Browse information about online communications, and discover ideas with examples of what’s possible for cultural institutions in the digital space.
As a community project facilitated by Base, we invite you to use and contribute to this growing resource.
Chu Teh-Chun Foundation
The Fondation CHU Teh-Chun was founded in Geneva in 2017 by the CHU family, and is dedicated to the collection, exhibition, conservation and interpretation of the art and archives of celebrated Franco-Chinese artist CHU Teh-Chun (1920-2014). The non-profit Fondation protects and promotes the work and vision of this unique multi-talented artist, including arranging international exhibitions and events, forging partnerships with museums, universities and art collectors, and supporting young up-and-coming artists. The Fondation also organises and maintains the archives of CHU Teh-Chun’s art, including authentication and certification of signed works and the compilation of a Catalogue Raisonné listing his body of work.
