Hi Emma

There was a recent thread on the MCG list about longform content - see https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=ind1702&L=mcg&D=0&P=18198 which I think is related. 

Looks like you’re on WordPress with your main site - so my answer would be to do it there. Creating templates and bespoke functionality to do exhibition-like stuff is all par for the course with WP nowadays. We’ve been doing similar for Bristol Museums - see link above or (ugly) http://culturestory.co.uk for more info.

I’d personally avoid Google Arts & Culture - and in fact any 3rd party commercial entity - for the hosting/tools for this sort of “core” content. Google lose interest in stuff all the time, and just “sunset” things when they like - and then you’re in trouble. Also, last time I looked the exhibition building stuff Google provides is pretty underwhelming. But the sustainability element I think is more important to think about.

cheers

Mike

Thanks Elisa. I've had a look and it seems more geared towards audio guides though. Can anyone recommend anything else?

Thanks,
Emma

You can try izi.TRAVEL and get both a free online collection and a app.

Hello everyone

I'm hoping someone might be able to help!

We are not currently a member of Google Arts & Culture, but are really keen to try developing our own online exhibitions. Can anyone suggest something similar (and free) that we can try out?

Many thanks,
Emma
