Unstacked – Curated by the People is an innovative Australian collection visualisation project which showcases your collection and institution locally and globally in real-time through the eyes of the people who use it.

Unstacked showcases not only how people are using your collection, but also the treasures it contains.
When someone accesses an item from your collection no matter where they are, it simply appears in Unstacked and comes alive not only for that one person but for everyone.

A self-sustaining, always fresh exhibition of your collection curated by the people.
