What it does
Cultural institutions need a website that presents collections clearly and helps visitors plan a trip. This theme is designed around that job, with layouts suited to historical artifacts, art collections and exhibition listings. The design is responsive, so pages adapt to desktops, tablets and smartphones. Two home page variations let you pick the layout that matches how you want to introduce your museum or gallery, and a built-in 404 page catches visitors who follow a broken link.
Under the hood, the theme is built on the Bootstrap framework and is compatible with Visual Composer, so you can arrange pages with drag and drop instead of writing code. It includes a working contact form, Mailchimp newsletter integration and Google Maps support for showing your location. Retina-ready graphics, Google Web Fonts, Font Awesome icons and CSS3 effects and animations handle the visual side, and the clean, documented code helps developers make changes.
Best for
