Coming soon to the App Store and Google Play
Photograph an artwork. Artema tells you its story.
In a few seconds, the app recognises the painting or sculpture in front of you, its artist, its period and its movement. Your discoveries join your own museum, and you share them with a community of art lovers.

Capture your emotions.
A museum gallery, The Starry Night, love at first sight. With one gesture, Artema reveals the artwork and keeps it in your personal museum.
Teaser without dialogue, with English text. In a light-filled museum gallery, a woman stops in front of Van Gogh’s The Starry Night, moved. She takes out her iPhone and photographs the painting with Artema, then smiles. End cards: “Capture your emotions.”, “Share them with the community.”, the Artema logo and “Discover the full experience at artema.app”.
How it works
Three gestures in front of any artwork
No QR codes, no kiosks: Artema works with your phone’s camera, in major museums and small collections alike.
-
Scan
Frame the artwork with your camera, or import a photo taken during your visit. Artema recognises famous works and searches the web for those in lesser-known collections.
-
Discover
Title, artist, date, technique, movement and collection, then the story of the work, told simply. When one exists, a high-resolution reproduction replaces your photo.
-
Collect and share
The artwork joins My museum, along with the name of the place where you saw it. Keep it to yourself or post it: the community can like it, comment on it and share it.
Much more than a scanner
Search, find, travel
Artema is with you before, during and after your visit, at home or on the other side of the world.
-
A search engine for art
An artwork, an artist, a museum or a city: Artema finds them, and writes a page for any name, even far from the museum.
-
Find an artwork
Where can you see the Mona Lisa or Sunflowers? Artema tells you which museum holds the work, and My museum keeps every artwork you have come across, with its location.
-
Your travel companion
In Paris, Florence or Amsterdam, the map shows the museums around you, their exhibitions and opening hours. Your location stays on your phone.
