About

Bringing Immersive Cultural Heritage Experiences to Gaming, Classrooms, and Libraries around the World

We want to inspire and fascinate our users by displaying history in as vivid imagination as we've witnessed it.

We build immersive experiences for gaming, education, and real-world cultural heritage preservation. Mused brings world cultures to life in classrooms, supporting both learning and archaeological preservation.

We empower the local communities taking care of the monuments where we work by providing them with training and financial resources to maintain and preserve their cultural heritage.

Our Mission

Our primary mission is to inspire our users -- so they perceive and are fascinated by history as much as we have been.

As a part of this, we hope to use technology to support non-profit organizations and conservation projects to augmented their grant funding lifecycles by publishing games and educational resources about their work.

Our role as technologist and digital humanitists is to empower educators and cultural heritage workers around the world to tell their stories and connect with their audiences.

Our Impact

So far we've worked on over 200 projects in 30+ countries. More of our is coming out month-by-month as the educational and interpretative resources are created along with the 3d content.

What Sets Us Apart

We Believe in Empowering Educators with Comprehensive, Curriculum-Aligned Resources.

We work directly in the classroom with teachers in multiple countries to understand their needs and build teaching materials that they love!

We offer curriculum-aligned 3D resources and lesson plans that meet the needs of diverse learning styles, ensuring that every student can engage with history in an immersive and meaningful way. Used around the world, our resources have proven to support teachers in transforming traditional lessons into dynamic, interactive experiences.

We Value Ethical Cultural Heritage Preservation and Community Empowerment.

We believe that cultural heritage belongs to the communities that preserve it. By partnering with local communities, we not only help safeguard their heritage but also create sustainable jobs in digital preservation.

Our approach involves providing hands-on training in cutting-edge 3D capture technology, fostering self-sufficiency and long-term preservation efforts. We are committed to promoting ethical practices that ensure local communities have ownership and control over their cultural heritage, while sharing it with the world.

We Innovate by Merging Education with Engaging Gaming to Transform Learning and Archaeological Funding.

We believe that education and entertainment can coexist to produce powerful learning outcomes. Our educational games are built using real 3D cultural heritage captures, allowing students to explore historically accurate environments while learning.

These games also create a sustainable funding model for archaeological projects, turning gameplay into real-world support for ongoing discoveries. We are dedicated to developing tools that not only educate but also contribute to the preservation and funding of cultural heritage.

Above everything, we want to inspire the world with the monuments we work at the same way that they've inspired us!
