Preserve the stories.
Inspire discovery.
Curiosea turns any museum into a digitally capable, educationally powerful, financially sustainable institution — built for the people who run museums, not just the people who visit them.
Could this be your museum? Built for local museums, heritage centres & living history experiences of every size.
Everything a museum needs.
Nothing it doesn't.
Four integrated engines that transform how museums capture knowledge, educate visitors, engage communities, and create unforgettable experiences.
Knowledge Capture Engine
They just talk. The AI does the rest.
A volunteer stands in front of an artefact, presses record, and speaks. The AI transcribes, structures, enriches, and tags — creating a complete artefact profile from a single voice recording.
- Voice recording — mobile-first, in-app
- AI transcription and structuring
- Auto-generated historical context and significance
- Metadata tagging (era, category, curriculum alignment)
- Age-appropriate content layering
“This press printed the town's first newspaper in 1887 — the editor set every letter by hand, and it still works today…”
AI-structured profile
Education Engine
One input. Many outputs. All curriculum-aligned.
From a single voice capture, the platform generates narrated stories, gamified challenges, study modules, teacher dashboards, and assessment tools — all calibrated by age group.
- Video-style narrated artefact stories
- Gamified discovery challenges by age group
- Extended study modules for post-visit learning
- Teacher dashboard with progress tracking
- Quiz and assessment tools
The Press That Gave a Town Its Voice
Narrated story · 3 min · Year 5 History
Challenge: In what year did the town print its first newspaper?
Aligned: ACARA HASS Year 5 — Australian Curriculum
Social Engine
Select an artefact. Tap publish. Done.
The AI generates platform-optimised captions, selects the best image, and publishes across every connected social platform simultaneously. No social media expertise needed.
- AI-generated platform-optimised captions
- One-tap cross-platform publishing
- Scheduled posting with calendar view
- Image processing and optimisation
- Basic engagement analytics

Founding Museum Program
We're inviting a small group of founding museums and heritage experiences to shape Curiosea from the ground up — early access, direct input into the roadmap, and founding pricing locked in for life. Could this be your museum?
Every museum has stories.
Too many are leaving with their tellers.
Walk into almost any local museum, heritage centre, or living history experience and you'll find the same treasure: a volunteer who knows everything. The context, the significance, the human connection behind every artefact — none of it written down, all of it held in memory.
Those volunteers are ageing out. When they go, their knowledge goes with them. Most small museums have no succession plan, no digital capability, and no budget to build one.
What if a volunteer could just talk, and the technology did the rest?
From that question grew a platform. Knowledge capture became education became social engagement became visitor experience. Four engines, one mission: make every museum digitally capable, educationally powerful, and financially sustainable.
Could this be your museum?
Curiosea is built for every kind of history experience
Volunteer-run local museums
A handful of dedicated people, a collection full of stories, and no time or budget for technology.
Heritage & living history experiences
Maritime and military collections, historic homes and villages, industrial heritage, open-air experiences — anywhere the past is kept alive for visitors.
The Commitment
We support all museums, without favourites. Pricing is designed so the smallest institutions can afford the same four engines as the largest.
