A museum interpretation tool

Herodote turns a curator’s own knowledge into an approved scene of an object’s original world.

For every object of an exhibition — composed in an afternoon.

Built for the head of public programmes or the communications lead at a mid-sized regional museum — archaeology, history, fine arts or local heritage — preparing a temporary exhibition with little digital budget and no developer.

How a case gets its scene

Three steps the museum’s own team can do without a developer.

01

Upload the object’s photo

The museum’s own team photographs the object and uploads it — no studio, no agency.

02

Add what the curator knows

Date, place, use, sources — the knowledge already sitting in the curator’s files.

03

Herodote composes the scene

A still image puts the object back in its original world, ready for approval.

One object, composed back into its world

A sample of what the team uploads, and the scene Herodote composes from it once a curator adds what they know.

This sample is composed, not photographed, and stands next to the object’s own case with a QR code the visitor can scan.

One exhibition, one price — nothing added later.
