About
Built for collectors, by collectors.
Museumica started at a cluttered desk between specimen jars and a magnifying glass — not in a boardroom.
Our story
Years of collecting, and one missing tool.
After decades of collecting minerals, fossils, insects and curiosities, we kept running into the same problem: spreadsheets that aged badly, photos lost in folders, provenance notes scattered across notebooks, and no good way to share a cabinet with fellow collectors.
We tried every museum CMS and every generic inventory app. None of them spoke our language. So we built the tool we wished we had — meticulous about provenance, beautiful in presentation, and gentle enough for a Sunday afternoon of cataloguing.
Museumica is that tool. Made by collectors who still spend their weekends behind a loupe.
Community
Part of a wider collectors' circle.
We don't build Museumica in isolation. We work closely with curators, dealers and fellow collectors across Europe — sharing knowledge on provenance, conservation, identification and display.
Two collaborations are particularly close to our hearts:
- Natural History Curiosities →
A trusted source of ethically sourced naturalia and cabinet pieces, and a long-standing partner in shaping how we think about provenance.
- Curiosa Naturalis →
Fellow collectors and curators of fine natural history pieces, with whom we share a love for the craft of cataloguing.
Who we are
Company and contact details
Museumica was founded in 2025 by a group of collectors of minerals, fossils and curiosities who spent years cataloguing their private cabinets on index cards and spreadsheets before building the tool they wanted to use. They all still catalogue their own collections in Museumica every week.
The company is based in Antwerp, Belgium, and specimen data and images are hosted in the European Union. Museumica is GDPR compliant.
