ABOUT

CREATIVE SHELL: An international donation standard for preservation of cultural heritage.

ABOUT

Creative Shell is creating a mobile app that allows people to donate to cultural heritage sites on the go, simply and transparently.

· Users collect digital cultural artefacts, discover novel travel destinations, or explore the wonders of the world in a metaverse in exchange for their donation.

· Cultural institutions get much-needed financial support for the heritage they manage and protect, while reducing their carbon footprint or dependency on government support.

· Industry professionals have a structured digital library for research and education.

Preserve history with a tap!

Creative Shell is an international team with an extraordinary set of skills and expertise, built over two decades, spanning across culture, education, venture, technology, and urban development. We have been a pioneer in multimedia and digital twins in culture tech since 2004.

“Fifteen of Timbuktu’s mausoleums were destroyed, including nine that are part of the World Heritage sites. We estimate that about 4,200 manuscripts from the Ahmed Baba research centre were burned, and that another 300,000 in the Timbuktu region are vulnerable to illicit trafficking.” said Lazare Eloundou-Assomo from UNESCO’s World Heritage Centre

We are looking for art partners (museums, collectors, galleries) and looking to expand their digital presence or to learn more about digital twins in arts for their collections, for fintech partners working with donations, and for grant professionals that work with cultural heritage. If you resonate with our mission, reach out to explore.
