museum-digital is a platform on which museums large and small publish information about their objects. It contains a large variety of objects that are linked with each other through many different links. It thus aims to present subjects in a most approachable way and provide ease in the finding of objects.

A system that can be used by all museums, no matter the way the museum manages the information pertaining to its objects internally. For museums that do not yet use a dedicated program for inventarization, museum-digital offers the relevant functions. Information about the museum objects is further enriched at museum-digital and can subsequently be reformated and easily exported for embedding on relevant portals, such as europeana, Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek, etc. - if the museum wants that.

From the beginning, the experience of museums from Rhineland-Palatine and other regions were incorporated into the process. Because of its origin on a regional level, museum-digital has a number of regional instances besides the German nationwide one. By now, a number of international instances have also been created:
