Culture websites

Museums, galleries, festivals, theatres and cultural institutions use their websites as a front door and a programme guide at the same time.

The best culture sites in this collection make what is on, where and when instantly clear, while giving each exhibition or event its own visual moment. The jury looks for strong identity systems that can flex across very different shows, ticketing that works smoothly on a phone, and accessibility that matches the public role of the institution. Archives of past programmes, artist pages and well-structured event data also make these sites useful long after the opening night.
