Data Platform
Coming SoonPaintings Around the World
A rich data layer mapping where paintings were created or the places they depict. Available via API upon request for museums, educators, and developers to embed into their own interactive maps.
Bringing geographic depth to museum collections.
01
Verified Coordinates
Plein-air painting spots, artist ateliers, and historic studio locations mapped with academic provenance.
02
Geographic API
REST, GraphQL, and vector tile endpoints designed to drop right into Mapbox, Leaflet, or custom kiosk applications.
03
Museum Linked Data
Direct links to international public domain collections, accession numbers, and high-resolution imagery.
04
Spatial & Temporal Filtering
Query by historical era, art movement, medium, or trace the journeys of artists as they traveled the globe.
Why we're building it
Art history has always been spatial.
When Monet painted the Normandy cliffs, Shin Yun-bok documented Joseon Seoul, or Hokusai observed Mount Fuji from 36 distinct vantage points, geography informed every stroke. Paintings Around the World connects historical masterpieces to the physical earth.
Developer friendly
Designed for modern maps and public displays.
Built on modern spatial standards with sub-second response times, geo-clustering, and vector tiles, allowing developers to render thousands of masterworks on web apps or interactive museum walls without performance degradation.
Access & Partnerships
A shared foundation for culture and research.
We partner directly with institutions, researchers, and creators. Early API access and dataset queries are available upon request for participating organizations, educators, and developers.
