“Ortelia Curator is easy to use. It’s clearly laid out and intuitive so we don’t have to work in it all the time to remember how to use it. The amount of power in this tool is astounding.  It’s truly amazing!”

– Stephanie Wilson, Project Manager, Collections and Interpretation, Georgia O’Keeffe Museum

“Ortelia Curator is an efficient and accessible program. It allows me experimentation, flexibility and planning in the lead up to exhibitions. It’s easy to learn, simple to use. ”

– Ingrid Hedgcock, Curator and Collections Manager, Margaret Olley Art Centre, Tweed Regional Gallery

“…we now use Ortelia exclusively. It is faster, more accurate and the result permits among many other functions, minute adjustments on the run, experimentation with texture, colour and lighting, and virtual “fly-throughs” all of which have become invaluable in the collaborative environment of museum exhibition design where curators, educators, designers and production teams work closely together. ”

– Dr Campbell Gray, Director, The University of Queensland Art Museum

“Museums & Galleries of NSW have been using Ortelia Curator in our touring exhibitions for over 4 years now and it has proved to be a vital tool for exhibition design across distance.”

– Rachel Arndt, Gallery Programs and Touring Exhibitions Manager, Museums & Galleries of NSW
