Reimagining search for cultural discovery

When someone types a query into your museum’s search bar, “Joseph Mallord William Turner”, “ceramics”, or “watercolour”, where could that journey take them?

This session lifts the lid on our work at Tate, with partner Torchbox, to rethink search as a space for discovery, not just retrieval. We’ll share what we learned from fixing long-standing issues, testing new ideas, and exploring how AI can support, not overshadow, human curiosity.

We’ll share practical guidance, honest reflections, and examples you can adapt for your own museum, whatever your scale or setup.
