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!

I made the freakiest museum I could with the powers that were given to me. There was a guy constantly in my walls laughing at me, but the joke was on him, he was part of the attraction. There was some ghosts in the back as well, but if the guests don't see them that's fine - also read the descriptions, there's lore to be found Curation DLC when????
Just Played This For the First Time Now, been following this game for awhile as I am Currently enrolled on the same UNI course at the same UNI where this game started. On the whole Circle Back Games Deserve Praise here, breaking into to this industry is hard enough and doing it as an indie deserves nothing but admiration!!! The Game itself Is great fun And I can feel like its something I can just sit down and play and vibe with at anytime. The soundtrack is perfect and I can listen to whenever, the style is simple and appealing and the gameplay loop is simple but addicting. If I were To have 1 small nit pick is that I would love for some of the UI elements to have a small sound when you hover over them. namely the sell button on items has no sound whatsoever in my experience but thats just a me thing. Would Also love to see controller support in the future !!! On the whole I will definitely be playing more, I really hope that we can take our final year group projects to the quality that this game has set. I hope and look forward to see what you guys to next!!!!! Outstanding Job!!!!
The best part about this game is hands down the building aspect - yes you have to suspend your disbelief a little - but it's incredibly satisfying putting things together. The music is nice and somewhat nostalgic, reminiscent of old school Minecraft. Also the auctions are very addicting; I ended up tearing down walls to be able to afford that damned beautiful brontosaurus. I'm happy with my purchase and had a lot of fun playing - can't ask for more!
GOATED game
Absolute clickfest of busy work. I don't know if there's any strategy here beyond the curse system, and the decorations/customization is lacking to make it interesting without that.
