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.

Just steps away from Harvard Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Harvard Art Museums welcome visitors from around the corner and around the world. In addition to the galleries, visitors can view works of art not currently on display by appointment in the expansive Art Study Center. Conveniently browse the collections and make an appointment. Many engaging public programs take place throughout the year, from gallery tours to artist talks to workshops in our Materials Lab, a hands-on environment for art making. Once each month, we keep our doors open until 9pm for an evening of art, music, food, special activities, and more. By offering unparalleled access to our collections and resources, the Harvard Art Museums encourage the enjoyment of art by everyone!
