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.

In 2011 a second project space, St Carthage Hall, opened in the town of Lismore. This gallery, in a former chapel, has presented a varied programme of exhibitions including works by Kaye Donachie, Aleana Egan, Martin Healy, Niamh O'Malley, and Superflex.
A third space, The Mill, opened in 2022 on the outskirts of Lismore town, bringing back into use a historically significant building, and allowing an opportunity to present more physically challenging artworks. In 2022 the space launched with Cascade by Virginia Overton.
