Amuse for partners
One platform to reach every visitor.
Amuse unites all the places curious people want to visit and explore in one cultural app. Partnering with us gives your organization the power of short-form media and access to a digital landscape connecting you to the world outside your doors.
How Amuse helps
Deeper, more connected cultural experiences.
Unlock your stories
Don't let wall space limit you. Tell every story, in a variety of media that give you more room for creativity and the ability to highlight more voices: curators, artists, students, and your community.
Attract new audiences with personalization and play
Users check in to the places they visit and track their journey to their profile. They can filter content to see just what they're looking for. With many different types of stories, from video to interactive trivia, there are numerous ways to engage.
Go beyond your doors
One experience, from your space to the world outside. Connect with neighboring institutions and landmarks on one app that is free to download and free to use.
Create access for everyone
Screen reader support tested yearly by a third party, audio description, and dynamic text sizing.
Track engagement
Easily track views and scans to see your most popular places and stories in one place, and follow reach, engagement, and retention data over time to shape strategy.
How it works
More than a label.
Expand your potential with more ways to tell your stories and engage your audience through interactive, multimedia, gamified, accessible, and self-guided interpretation, all on one app. Plus, we connect you with your community and your partners without any extra work on your part.
Interactive
Interactive elements in Amuse help your visitors navigate the space, get closer to exhibits, and even test their knowledge during their trip. Our trivia questions - written by you - are a fun way to get visitors to look more closely at what's in front of them. Spotlights turn crowded cases into clickable, tagged images that make it easier to identify and learn about different objects. Location-sensitive mapping allows visitors to find their way - even if they skipped the paper map at the front desk.
