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.
Kunsthalle Bern
The Kunsthalle Bern owes its existence to the initiative taken by the Bernese Artists’ Society (GSMBA, Bern section).
