culturenut

culturenut was created in 2019 by Exhibits Development Group (EDG), a leading international cultural exchange group. EDG recognised the enormous amount of waste thrown away by the cultural world, and so decided to use culturenut as a way to support the industry while also working to reduce waste.

Providing an immediate, accessible resource to cultural institutions around the world, the platform enables users to recycle and upcycle assets that would otherwise go idle. Honouring the Earth and our responsibility to her, culturenut and EDG are committed to their continuous mission to recycle, upcycle, and reuse collective resources. They ask their global community to stop and consider whether someone else could use it before throwing it away, and to get in touch with CultureNut to explore other options. The added bonus lies in the opportunity to make a little money in the process!

How it works

culturenut allows cultural institutions to buy and sell with confidence, as only validated and approved users can access the CultureNet marketplace. The process is simple, and culturenut handles all the details between buyer and seller. When transporting your inventory, culturenut sellers use safe, secure shipping to ensure buyers receive their goods efficiently and well-protected.

Buyers

Thousands of buyers and sellers across the cultural and attractions industries are already using CultureNut, making it the go-to platform giving idle assets a new lease of life. Museums already taking part in the movement include Space Centre Houston, The Doseum, MoPOP and more.

Here are some of the highlights and currently available exhibitions and items from the marketplace:

Sustainable museums are quickly becoming a focus for the public, as the need to reduce carbon emissions becomes a vital part of human survival. The role of cultural institutions is not only to teach through exhibitions but also to lead by example, and culturenut is perfectly placed to assist museums in this transition.
