Boarda Studio / Solutions / Museums
Your visitors miss the best exhibits because they cannot find them.
Boarda embeds AI-powered search into your museum app or website so visitors find artworks, galleries, and events instantly — without asking staff.
Used by museums and cultural institutions across Europe and Asia.
See the attendee experience with Boarda ExplorerWhy visitors leave with half the collection unseen
Visitors ask front-desk staff the same questions all day
Where is the Monet? Which floor has the Egyptian gallery? Your team spends the day giving directions instead of enriching the visitor experience.
Printed guides do not answer real questions
A visitor wants 'interactive exhibits for children' but your brochure is organized by gallery number. They wander and miss the highlight of the collection.
You have no insight into what visitors seek
Without search data you cannot tell which artists drive foot traffic, which galleries cause confusion, or which topics visitors care about most.
Live before your next exhibition
Step 01
Upload your collection content
Add exhibitions, artworks, galleries, events, and facilities to the Boarda dashboard. AI enrichment fills in descriptions, periods, and categories automatically.
Step 02
Embed search on your museum app or site
One embed snippet adds branded search to your mobile guide, website, or lobby kiosk. Visitors type natural questions and get instant answers.
Step 03
Track visitor intent in real time
See which artists are trending, which exhibitions drive demand, and where visitors hit dead ends — live, while the museum is open.
Everything your museum needs
Natural language collection search
Visitors type 'impressionist paintings on the second floor' or 'sculpture garden near the cafe' and get exact locations instantly.
Multilingual by default
English, German, Arabic and mixed queries work out of the box. International tourists and school groups find what they need.
Artwork and exhibit finder
Search by artist, period, medium, or theme. Results include gallery location, floor, and current exhibition context.
Event and program surfacing
Workshops, lectures, guided tours, and temporary shows appear in search results with dates, times, and booking links.
Thematic discovery
Visitors searching for 'ancient Rome' find artworks, exhibits, and events across multiple galleries — not just one fixed room.
Pre-exhibition query simulator
Run 500 realistic visitor queries before a new show opens. Catch missing artworks, outdated gallery names, and wrong floor labels early.

The real-time analytics dashboard shows every visitor search as it happens. See which artists create buzz, which galleries cause confusion, and which topics visitors care about most. By the end of the first week, you have a data-driven action list.
- Most searched artists, periods, and themes

What museum teams say
We embedded Boarda before our summer blockbuster. The search data showed 60% of visitors looked for the gift shop in the first 10 minutes. We added signage from the lobby and shop revenue went up 15% that month.
Dr. Claudia Becker
Head of Digital, Kunsthalle Bremen
The query simulator flagged 23 artworks that had been moved between galleries but not updated in the system. We fixed them before opening day and saved hundreds of confused visitor interactions.
