From SARA to website in four days: advantage for Nordic museums

When collections are locked in SARA or TMS, access equity suffers. MuCoDi turns a structured catalogue into a live experience in days, not months.

By MuCoDi·March 17, 2026

A curator looks at their collections database — 6,000 objects, meticulously catalogued in SARA, each with rich metadata about provenance, materials and cultural significance. The question: are these accessible to a digital audience?

Access equity

When a researcher in Tokyo can access the Metropolitan Museum’s entire collection at 3 AM but cannot see a single object from a specialised Nordic museum with world-class holdings, the constraint is not budget — it’s access equity. A PhD student in Stockholm shapes their entire research around collections that happen to be online.

Within four days

After initial discussions to align on your vision and goals, our headless CMS gets into a roadmap you can see within days:

  • Day 1–2: SARA/TMS integration and data mapping
  • Day 3–4: website configuration and staff onboarding

When we worked with Kunsten Museum of Modern Art, the timeline from decision to launch was measured in weeks, not months. If you work in a museum’s leadership team and are curious about MuCoDi, write to us any time.
