Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Marianna, founder of MuseMe. Last year I was standing in front of The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch at the Prado in Madrid. If you've ever seen it in person, you know the feeling. Enormous. Strange. Beautiful. Completely chaotic. Every time I looked, I noticed something new. A tiny figure hiding in a corner. A bizarre creature. A symbol I didn't understand. I wanted to know more. So I looked at the plaque beside it. Artist. Date. Oil on panel. That was it. I remember thinking, how is this all we get? That moment never left me. Over the last few months, I spoke with hundreds of people. Museum visitors. Travellers. Art lovers. Curators. People who rarely step inside a museum at all. The same things kept coming up: "I got overwhelmed." "I didn't know where to start." "I got museumed out." "I felt like I was missing something." "I wanted the story, not the dates." "The audio guide sounds like academic lecture." The more I listened, the clearer it became. The problem isn't a lack of information. Museums already have plenty of that. The problem is how we experience it. Audio guides are built for everyone. Which means they feel personal to no one. They sound like academic lectures. One-size-fits-all in a room full of completely different people with completely different curiosities. That's why I started building MuseMe. Think Spotify for museums. Instead of trying to see everything, MuseMe creates a personalized playlist around your curiosity, your mood, your interests and your available time. You don't follow a map. You don't follow a one-size-fits-all audio guide. You follow what fascinates you. Want hidden stories? Follow them. Want scandals, symbolism, mysteries? Choose your rabbit hole. Want to go deep on one painting for 20 minutes? Go. No overwhelm. No information overload. Just the stories you'll actually remember. Today, I'm excited to share that MuseMe has been accepted into the Fighters Program at STATION F, powered by TikTok. For those who don't know STATION F, it's the world's largest startup campus in Paris and home to companies like Hugging Face, Alan, my favourite Yuka and many others. I'm a Fighters Apprentice. Which honestly sounds exactly right for where we are. We're not done. We're not launched. We're in the messy, honest, unglamorous middle of building something that doesn't exist yet and we are having hundreds of conversations, a growing conviction and a problem worth solving. Because we believe that in a world where we personalize everything from the dating apps to our Starbucks orders, culture should feel personal too. The landing page is live and the waitlist is open. If you feel this pain, love the idea or just want to see where it goes, come join the ride. I can promise it will be wild. https://themuseme.com/

Fun concept, and congrats on the STATION F program! Curious to try and it and see if it's also helpful for somebody who first opens it when they get to the museum, rather than prepping. How does all the personalization work on the spot?

@ferdi_sigona Thank you! 😊 And yes, that's actually one of the main use cases we're designing for.

The idea is that you can open MuseMe right when you arrive at the museum, answer a few quick questions about what you're curious about, how much time you have, and the type of experience you're looking for, and MuseMe will build a personalized route on the spot.

As you explore, you can tap into details that catch your eye, listen to a quick story or dive deeper, and follow different rabbit holes depending on what interests you. Over time, MuseMe also learns from your previous museum visits and the stories, artists, and themes you enjoy, so every new experience becomes even more personal.

The goal is to make museums feel less overwhelming and more like they're designed just for you, even if you decide to visit on a whim. 😊

If museums could personalize your visit the way Spotify personalizes music, what would you want it to know about you?
