Creating connections between stories and objects using AI

Museums hold vast collections, but their potential is often locked away in databases or static catalogues. London Mueum are tackling this challenge by transforming their digital presence with Wagtail. In this session, Trish Thomas (Head of Digital, Museum of London) will share lessons from the project: from aligning editorial and technical teams, to using AI to surface connections between stories and objects, to reshaping content strategy for inclusivity and accessibility. This case study will offer practical insights for cultural organisations, content professionals, and developers alike—showing how Wagtail can underpin ambitious digital change while staying flexible for experimentation with new technologies.
