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.

S.M.A.K.

SMAK presents artworks from its own collection in dialogue with works by contemporary artists from all corners of the world.
Using contemporary art, we seek and give meaning to this complex and fragmented world. We prioritize accessibility and inclusivity, because art is for everyone. Because we experiment, every visit is captivating.
Meet artists with a surprising and visionary view of the world and sharpen your perspective. Slowly recover from the many impressions at Wilde Weide or with a walk in the park.
