ACROPOLIS MUSEUM

Upgrade of the collection management system from MuseumPlus Classic to MuseumPlus Cloud

The Acropolis Museum has made a dynamic entry into the field of digital technologies, opening new channels of communication with both domestic and international audiences. As part of the project “Creation of the Acropolis Digital Museum,” a range of applications was developed to highlight the multifaceted nature of its exhibits and to offer enriched experiences within the Museum’s galleries.

Between 2014 and 2024, PostScriptum implemented and supported the MuseumPlus Classic collection management system at the Museum, establishing it as a key tool for the digital preservation and management of its collections. In total, 27,755 digital records, corresponding to 10,557 objects, were migrated to the system, including all items exhibited in the Museum’s galleries.

In 2025, PostScriptum undertook the upgrade from MuseumPlus Classic to MuseumPlus Cloud, alongside the full customisation of the new system in accordance with the organisation’s specific requirements. This process included the migration and restructuring of data, ensuring consistency, integrity, and interoperability across the system.

Today, MuseumPlus Cloud contains 33,590 objects linked to 48,371 digital files and operates as the central hub for the cataloguing and management of the Museum’s collections. In parallel, PostScriptum delivered a targeted training programme for the Museum’s staff, supporting the effective and confident use of the system.

MuseumPlus Cloud represents PostScriptum’s new solution for museum collection management. Continuously enriched with new entries, it forms the backbone of collection management and provides the foundation for the organisation of exhibitions, as well as for the development of interactive content, games, and publications. At the same time, it enables the seamless export of data to the Museum’s website, offering the public open access to scientific and research material.
