Information about domain names in .museum

The .museum top-level domain (TLD) is a specialized extension created exclusively for museums, museum associations, and professionals of the museum sector. It was launched in 2001 to help these institutions distinguish themselves on the internet and improve their online visibility.

This domain is only available to organizations and individuals who can prove their connection to the museum community. The eligibility requirements ensure that visitors accessing .museum websites are connecting with authentic and reliable cultural institutions.

Using a .museum domain offers several advantages, such as strengthening trust with the public, enhancing credibility, and making it easier for users to identify official museum websites. It also helps museums to protect their brand and share their collections and activities with a global audience.
