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.
Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía
Although the Museum as a public institution still maintains its importance in the fabric of creative industries, it has currently lost part of its mediating power or, at least its privileged position, in the definition of what we understand by culture today.
