We're thrilled to share some big news today: Cuseum has won a Webby!
With this honor, Cuseum’s [AR]T Museum app has been awarded the title of best Art, Culture, and Event App in the “Apps and Software” category of the 25th annual Webby Awards.
In May 2020, in response to worldwide museum closures due to COVID-19, Cuseum released this innovative Augmented Reality (AR) app, which virtually transports famous artworks from museums into people’s homes. Through the [AR]T Museum app, anyone around the world can virtually place paintings and other objects onto their walls and revel in artworks that are typically only available to view inside a museum setting. The launch of this novel app has elevated remote arts and cultural experiences to a new plane, as well as pushed the frontier of what virtual engagement can look like for cultural institutions globally.
The [AR]T Museum app has also been featured in publications around the world, including Fast Company, USA Today, Venture Beat, Artnet News, WIRED, and Elle. In July 2020, [AR]T Museum was highlighted by Apple as “App of the Day” and promoted globally across Apple’s App Store social media channels.
Huge thank you to the Cuseum team for their hard work on this project, and to our customers & community for all of your votes - we couldn’t have done it without you!
