Who’s Using It
Australian Museum
2018 - present
For over 190 years the Australian Museum has been at the forefront of scientific research, collection and education. So no surprises that its website is a treasure trove of information. For their new rebuild, they undertook a custom-install of Glamkit combined with a complex data-migration and several hairy systems integrations.

Art Gallery of South Australia
2018 - present
One of Australia's major art institutions, the Art Gallery of South Australia recently completed a digital transformation, breathing new life into their brand and website. The project saw a further evolution of our CMS Glamkit, particularly in terms of image editing and integration with EMu, one of the world's leading collection management systems.

Powerful features
Institutional storytelling engine
Express your rich stories naturally using Glamkit's modular content approach. Text, videos and content from across your offer can be woven together on every page of your site. Use Glamkit's built-in modules, or easily create your own specifically for your site's design.
World-class events
No other CMS handles events as well as Glamkit. Events can be any shape or size, and repeat or be one-off. Big events like Exhibitions and Festivals can contain smaller events like tours and workshops. And all this can be integrated with ticket sales systems like Eventbrite and Tessitura.
Your collection, your way
Every museum thinks differently about its collection. That's why Glamkit's online collection uses a flexible plugin system, so you can choose what shape your collection is, whether it's art and artists, moving image, books, or paleontology, or a combination, Glamkit's got you covered. We've integrated with Emu, Vernon and other collections management systems.
Powerful publishing workflow
Glamkit has best-in-class publishing and workflow controls designed for small teams of content professionals, but that scales across your organisation. Publishable content can be versioned, scheduled and assigned to members of your team to take the next step. Create secret links to share work-in-progress with reviewers, without creating new logins.
Integrate your systems to build a platform for your museum data
Because it’s built in Django/Python, Glamkit can talk to your existing
collection, tickets, digital assets and shop systems. Recent projects
have successfully integrated Glamkit with Tessitura, Vernon CMS,
NetX, Blackbaud, apps and lobby signage. When all your data is
brought together, the possibilities are endless.

Cultural-sector-friendly asset library
Glamkit contains a user friendly library for organising, browsing, and selecting images, audio, and video assets. Synchronise with Digital Asset Management systems like NetX or Canto, or use Glamkit as a simple asset management system. Glamkit handles captions, rights, IIIF-compatible repurposing, and web-safe colorspace conversion.
Even bigger things coming soon
We're always refining Glamkit. Coming soon: Glamkit v4, micro-sites, better modular content, new and simpler events system, advanced image editing.
Hosting Services
Glamkit is Docker-compatible, so your project and all its dependencies can be hosted anywhere that will host Docker images.
Support and Customization
We don't charge fees for using Glamkit, just for customising it or adding additional functions. Our clients always receive a perpetual, royalty-free licence to the source code as part of working with us. If there’s any extra-special stuff you need, tell us a little about your project, and we’ll work with you to make it happen.
