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.
