We humbly ask for your help. We need your support to keep Mused running.

We're the largest independent hub of digital cultural heritage, and we survive on donations of about $30 USD. Less than 1% of people donate. If everyone reading this donated $5, our fundraiser would be done within a day!

We support training and providing technology to the communities that take of the monuments where we work to digitize their own cultures. For the price of a cup of coffee, you can continue preserving cultural heritage for future generations.

Thanks for reading, and we hope you'll consider donating. — Luke Hollis, Cofounder, Mused
