Upload an artifact image or document. Gemini AI extracts structured CCO metadata in seconds. Your curators review, correct, and confirm — building an accurate, searchable record without the manual burden.
"Museums hold millions of uncatalogued objects. Classifying them by hand takes decades — and institutional knowledge walks out the door with each retiring curator."
The Cataloguing Cultural Objects (CCO) standard is the recognised framework for describing works of art and material culture. Applying it consistently, at volume, across mixed media — drawings, photographs, artefacts, documents — is a labour-intensive challenge that most institutions cannot scale manually.
Echo Museum changes that equation.
Drag and drop images, PDFs, or drawings. The system handles architectural plans, photographs, sketches, documents — any visual medium.
Gemini AI analyses the artifact and extracts structured CCO metadata — object type, creator, date, materials, culture and origin — with confidence scores per field.
Archivists and curators review each AI finding in a purpose-built HITL interface: confirm, edit, or dismiss with a reason. Every action is logged immutably.
Researchers browse the archive and add up to 50 artifacts to a persistent loan basket. A guided 4-step checkout captures borrowing institution, loan period, exhibition details, venue, and a PDF facilities report — all in one request. Curators review each batch in the inbox, adjust per-artifact pricing, and validate the facilities report before approving. Contracts are generated automatically; signatures and payments follow in-platform.
A dedicated view for external trustees and board members — loan revenue, catalogue completeness, extraction accuracy rates, and pending actions. No access to editing tools; clean financial and operational reporting only.
From upload to exhibition — Echo Museum covers the full cataloguing lifecycle.
Full platform access. Manage the ingestion pipeline, approve and correct AI extractions, configure object type schemas, manage exhibitions, and control access for your institution.
Field-level focus. Review and enrich AI-extracted metadata, confirm or dismiss findings, and track personal contribution activity without access to administrative controls.
Board-level oversight. A clean financial and operational dashboard — loan activity, revenue tracking, collection statistics — without access to the cataloguing workflow.
Read-only access to the confirmed archive. Browse all classified artifacts, filter by type or date, and view loan availability — without the ability to modify any records.
