Organize objects and publish digital exhibitions in one space

Objects & Order is an object system

It’s designed for museum professionals, artists, and collectors to document everything that happens around their objects, whether they have a Collections Management System or not.

Start with a single project or an entire collection.

Create digital exhibitions with your collection objects

If you can put together a presentation, you can create an online exhibition. Add your objects, customize and collaborate, and publish when you're ready.

Nothing to install. Nothing to maintain. No asking a developer to change a caption.

Exhibitions don’t have to disappear after closing day

Neither do the scholarship, creativity, and collaboration that went into them. Instead of dragging everything into an archive folder, create a digital exhibition audiences can keep exploring.

Do more than just “manage” collections

Objects and Order does what you wish your Collections Management System could. Add the data, interpretive content, and digital assets that inform an object’s history and meaning. Then turn that knowledge and media into exhibitions, slideshows, object labels, timelines, and more.
