Enhancing Access to European Cultural Heritage Through Digital Innovation

The MICHAEL project is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at promoting European cultural heritage to a global audience through a multilingual online platform. Since its inception in 2004, the project has facilitated the digitization of diverse cultural collections from museums, libraries, and archives across Europe. By building a comprehensive digital offer, the project provides users access to valuable resources, enhancing educational opportunities and cultural engagement in homes, schools, and libraries. Collaborating with numerous partners, MICHAEL is setting standards for digital inventories and cultural accessibility.
