Your gallery, without the walls

Open your work to the world and scale your exhibitions without losing the feel of the room.

A gallery you can walk into from anywhere

Take a narrated 3D journey through five early avant-garde artists. Signs along the way explain how each part was put together, so this visit doubles as your first walkthrough of the platform.

Three problems every curator has faced

  • The venue is the ceiling

    Your audience is whoever can physically show up. Distance, mobility, travel costs, and closing dates all cut people out. One link opens your Metsteps exhibition in any browser, to anyone, anywhere, long after the doors would have closed.

  • Work needs context

    A photo grid flattens everything. Scale, sequence, and the discourse between pieces, set by the curator, disappear on a standard website. A walkable 3D space keeps those elements intact and the atmosphere of the exhibition alive, as the work is shown the way it's meant to be seen.

  • You can't walk through an idea

    Exhibition concepts live in floor plans and mood boards until install day. Mistakes get discovered when they're most expensive to fix. Build the exhibition in 3D and walk it with all stakeholders (artists, board) before install day, while changes still cost nothing.

Built to highlight art

  • Seen the way it deserves

    Visitors stand in front of the work and not above a thumbnail of it. Images, video, 3D objects, all hold their quality in space, properly lit and placed to be viewed from every angle.

  • Your objects, as themselves

    Art pieces and décor appear as what they are, each one on its own and in relation to the works around it. They keep their essence, so a sculpture reads as a sculpture and not a picture of one.

  • Your venue, everywhere

    The exhibition looks like your rooms because it is. Digital twins of real galleries and museums can be rebuilt in 3D from plans and photographs, so the virtual exhibition is unmistakably yours.

  • Opening night, open to everyone

    Nobody misses the premiere for lack of a train ticket. Visitors can attend as avatars, communicate with others via chat, and follow the event as it unfolds into the space.

  • Unmistakably yours

    Visitors never wonder whose exhibition they are at. Your logo, your colors, your art, carry across the space. Become unforgettable with Metasteps.

  • Private until you say otherwise

    Space previews stay private. Each space has its own URL and status such as public, unlisted, private or restricted. Access is strictly confined to the people you invite.

North York Moors National Park Authority

CASE STUDY

A remote national park's gallery, accessible by everyone.

The North York Moors National Park Authority runs the "inspired by…" gallery at Danby Lodge, a venue whose rural location keeps many visitors away.

To remove that barrier, the team built a virtual gallery with Metasteps, sharing conservation work through art and photography. The physical gallery was recreated and the result is, in the team's words, "amazing" and “accurate”, coupled with “invaluable” continued support.

"If you are wanting a VR experience for an exhibition space, Metasteps is an excellent choice. The design team is clearly very skilled and the staff helpful and supportive."
