We have developed the first global digital platform for more than 55.000 museums worldwide.
Our goal is to become the state-of-the-art-platform for those of the 1.5 billion tourists who visit museums at their destination and half a billion museums visitors.
On vimuseo.com they find all the information about any museum and can exchange their experiences with other museums visitors.
Museums can present themselves with all the information including pictures of their artworks.
Additionally they can present their current exhibitions.
Current Status
We have launched vimuseo.com in 09/18 and have since then expanded the range of museums in Europe.
In order to become completely global we now have to take the next huge step in implementing additional features for the museums and add all museums from Africa, Asia, Australia and America.
Market
More than 1.5 billion tourists have traveled the world in 2018 and most of them visit a museum at their destination.
Additionally more than half a billion people visit museums in their home country.
Problem or Opportunity
There’s no central platform to inform you about museums in your locality wherever you are.
Planning a trip to a country or a certain place and trying to learn what kind of museums are existing there is a huge effort - if ever this information is available and even if it is somehow it‘s not in your language.

Advertising from museums and third parties, fees from several services and commission from museums merchandising will create a strong revenue stream making ViMuseo profitabel in 2021.
Business model
Free of use for museums and visitors in order to become the main global platform for anyone interested in museums and culture.
With this foundation ViMuseo becomes an attractive communications and marketing platform for museums and companies who want to offer their services to an open-minded audience.
Additionally we connect to any existing online museums webshop and build up a merchandising platform for those museums which don’t have an online webshop so far.
