Curation Platform for 3D Art Exhibitions

Curation gives art access, meaning and flow. Keep everything, lose the walls with a custom 3D space.

Stretch time
Months of curatorial work shouldn't end when a physical exhibition ends. Art should remain accessible and not in flat images.
Expand space
Your audience is bigger than your postcode. Do not be restrained by physical limitations and expand globally.
Prepare early
Walking through an exhibition beats reading a floor plan. Find issues and avoid surprises before it’s too late, or expensive.
Guide the visitor
Free-roaming visitors miss the point of the show. Offer the option of a guided route without sacrificing open exploration.

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.

Visit this space

Built around how you curate

Visitors see art the way it deserves
Scale, positioning, and the relationships between pieces survive the move online. Artworks sit in space as objects, instead of thumbnails on flat pages so that viewers feel their impact and presence.
The argument of the show, kept intact
Visitors follow your sequence, pacing, and narration, or wander freely if they choose so. Story Paths carry the curatorial discourse checkpoint by checkpoint, and portals carry visitors through space and time.
Your rooms, recognizably yours
The online exhibition reads exactly as your institution because it is your building. Real galleries and museums can be rebuilt or new ones imagined in 3D from floor plans or photographs; no site visit required.
Unique and private
Previews and walkthroughs happen before the public sees anything. Each space has its own secure URL and access controls, such as public, unlisted, or restricted, all with your own logo, colors and visual ID.

CASE STUDY

A gallery too remote to visit becomes accessible

The North York Moors National Park Authority's gallery sits at Danby Lodge, remote enough that many would-be visitors never make it. The team built a virtual gallery with Metasteps to share conservation work through art and photography.

The Metasteps design team recreated the venue from images alone but accurately enough that the team called the result "amazing" and the continued support afterwards "invaluable."

"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."
