“…we now use Ortelia exclusively. It is fast, accurate and the results permit, among many other functions, minute adjustments on the run, experimentation with texture, colour and lighting, and virtual “fly-throughs”. These functions have become invaluable in the collaborative environment of museum exhibition design where curators, 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
