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.

The Royal Academy, located in the heart of London, is a place where art is made, exhibited and debated. The RA is run by the Royal Academicians, artists and architects elected by their peers in recognition of their exceptional work. Every year since 1768 the RA holds an annual Summer Exhibition, the largest open-submission art exhibition in the world.
