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.
The National Museum of Finland
The collections of the National Museum of Finland are our common cultural heritage and national property belonging to everyone. They serve as a shared memory and resource. The collections tell us about people's lives, society, events and history. They can also increase knowledge and understanding, feed our imagination and provide inspiration.
