Room & layout design
Build single halls or multi-room floor plans, and define the path visitors take from piece to piece.
For curators & galleries
Art curation software that publishes.
Most curation tools stop at a checklist. Menel takes your hang all the way to a walkable 3D exhibition visitors can enter — designed, sequenced and published from the browser.
Definition
What art curation software should do.
art curation software (noun)
Art curation software helps you plan and present an exhibition — organising works, designing the layout of rooms, sequencing the hang, and producing the final show. The best tools don't just track a checklist; they let you see and publish the result.
Menel works in 3D and in the browser, so curation and presentation are the same act: as you arrange works on the walls you're already building the exhibition visitors will walk through. There's no export step, no separate web build, no agency.
The output is a public, shareable, embeddable space with per-work labels — a virtual exhibition you can open to the world or send privately to a board, a sponsor or a collector.

Curation FAQ
Frequently asked.
What is art curation software?
Software to plan and present an exhibition — organising works, designing rooms and the hang, and publishing the show. Menel does this in 3D in the browser, so the output is a walkable virtual exhibition.
Is it for galleries and museums specifically?
Yes. Curators, independent galleries and museums use it to design online viewing rooms and full virtual exhibitions and control the visitor path. See the virtual museum guide.
Do my team or visitors need to install anything?
No. It runs in any modern browser, and visitors just open a link.
Can I keep a show private until launch?
Yes. Preview privately, then publish publicly when you're ready, or embed it on your own site.
What does it cost?
Free for up to 2 published exhibitions; Pro removes the limit for ongoing programmes.
