Museum blocks

Our custom Museum Blocks are integrated into the WordPress editor. Use them to put your collections right at the heart of your online stories and resources.

Once your collections are online, you can use them to start building engaging content for your online audiences, from blog posts and stories to educational resources.

Blocks are the basic components of any WordPress page. And our custom Museum Blocks make it easy and intuitive to integrate your collections with your other content. Drop in a featured item from your collections, complete with image, title and description, just by selecting it from a dropdown. Make a gallery by adding more. Build a map to show where your objects come from, and a timeline to put things in context.  

Museum Blocks work just like standard WordPress blocks: choose a layout and then build your content. Shuffle them around to get the look and feel that you want. 

Museum Blocks also include plugins for other content providers, so it’s as easy to drop in a YouTube video or a Sketchfab model as it is to access your own collections.

All our blocks have great documentation built right into the block itself to support authors right where they need it. Our documentation hub is also a great way to learn more about them, so read on.
