Agency, freelancer or need a prototype?
If you’re a digital agency or freelancer working with a museum, or you’re at an early stage with your project and need a prototype, we can help.
Coming soon…
We’ve got a big roadmap and want to deliver the best possible solutions for museums. We’ve worked in the sector for a very long time but we’re only as good as the museums we work with.
We need you to help us prioritise what we do next!
Our Team
More than 60 years working in and with museums!
The Museum Platform is a collaboration between Thirty8 Digital (Mike Ellis), Knowledge Integration (Rob Tice) and Sesamoid Consulting (Jeremy Ottevanger); a team who have been working in the museum and heritage space for many years. We brought our organisations together to try to crack a problem that needs a range of capacities and experience that are rarely found in one place.
Case Studies
We’re working with clients from all over the UK…
We’ve got smaller museums who don’t have collections but wanted a simple web presence, we’ve got bigger museums who purely wanted their collections online and we’ve got some clients who are using our functionality in surprising and unusual ways! Find out more on our Case Studies page…
User research has shown that our audiences engage better with longer form collections content rather than just a database front-end.
