About


As the architect, designer, and curator, it’s your job to transform an empty plot of land into a cultural landmark. Create an unforgettable experience for your NPC visitors by selecting, buying, and placing artefacts throughout your new museum. If they have a great time, they might even donate a little cash before heading out!


Design your museum from the ground up! Drag out walls and create uniquely shaped rooms to give your museum a one-of-a-kind layout. A range of customisation options means you can expand and modify your building, tailoring each room for the ultimate visitor experience.


Populate your museum with fascinating artefacts from around the cosmos. Strategically place each piece to catch visitors' attention and maximise engagement. The more intrigued they are, the more they’ll donate, letting you reinvest in your museum’s development.


Your museum layout isn't just aesthetic – it’s a bustling ecosystem. NPC visitors are highly reactive to their surroundings, showing happiness (and generosity) when pleased, and behaving unpredictably if something goes wrong. And be careful not to trap them; unhappy accidents can occur if visitors find themselves stranded in the vast halls of your museum.


Winner of the TIGA Creative Assembly Best Student Game award in 2024, Curation has been celebrated for its delightful art style, inclusive design, and unique soundtrack. Lose yourself in an immersive museum-building experience with a touch of whimsy, and a sense of wonder.
Build the museum of your dreams, delight your visitors, and leave a lasting impression—it's time to curate your masterpiece!

From my first hour on a lunch break in this game I fully thought I would see what it's like for 10 minutes and turn it off... I am now going back to work and eagerly awaiting to get home so I can boot this game back up! This game has so much more to it than I thought it would and has caused me stress within the first hour! I am hooked! Get me back to my Museum and let me fix it!! 8/10 would highly recommend!
Curation is a love letter to management sims, what it lacks in depth it makes up for in style. Can't wait to play more 8/10.
Super fun game!
Anyone that visits my museum is cursed, but they still tip.. so they're having a great time, right? Well, if they're not, I am anyway.
I'm earning BIG BUCKS and nobody can stop me. I'm good at this whole museum thing.
Cute little game, has promise.
I built a museum, put a muscle car and a catapult next to each other because it made sense. This UFO keeps grabbing my customers and whisking them somewhere. Theres someone in my walls, I think he wants someone to talk to. I put at least 2 vending machines in every single room to maximise profits, theres sometimes a curse that puts statues in front of the entrance like security guards. Other than that business is booming! 10/10 Game. The soundtrack is super relaxing. Graphically, the game is super charming, and so are the descriptions for artefacts. And I now run a museum with only a few cases of imprisonment.
Has all the vibes of a stylised management sim like that of Two Point games, including the humour from unexpected curses running amok, in a smaller but entertaining and addictive game. Great little sandbox. Redesigned my museum once it got a lot of attraction and I could design around new and bigger artefacts. Most definitely will be playing again soon, I've still got to figure out who is in the walls!?
it's good
my museum so cursed if i dont pay total attention all my guests die.....10/10 would play again
