WHO

The Museum of Australian Photography (MAPh) is Australia’s leading museum exclusively dedicated to the collection, conservation, promotion and exhibition of Australian photography. MAPh is the proud custodian of over 3,860 photographs in its collection.

NEED

MAPh needed to update its website in line with it’s rebrand from Monash Gallery of Art (MGA) to MAPh. It was aiming also to put more of its collection online and improve engagement and visitation - thus bringing the world to the largest collection of Australian Photography.

SOLUTION

Boojum delivered specialist services to make MAPh’s website come to life:

  • stakeholder management

  • information architecture

  • custom programming and interface design 

  • custom built collection database to house 1660 artworks and counting online

  • custom built individualised interaction MyMAPh*

  • content design

  • monitoring, security and updates

  • testing and training

*MyMAPh gives users the ability to curate their own collections. For example, students can build a portfolio selection with commentary to support their studies.
