Your visitors want video. Your budget says otherwise.

Museum visitors — especially digital visitors — expect video. Exhibition trailers, collection highlights, educational content, donor communications. But traditional video production is painfully expensive for heritage institutions operating on grant-funded budgets.

The alternative — stock footage — is worse. Your institution holds the real artefacts. Showing generic stock imagery alongside your collection undermines the very authenticity you exist to preserve.

Verika produces documentary video from named institutional archives — including your own, if you share access. Every clip is authenticated, every production is rights-cleared, and the cost is a fraction of traditional production. Your collection deserves better than stock footage. Your budget demands better than a production agency.

Use cases

How museums use Verika.

Exhibition companions.

Produce a documentary companion for every exhibition — viewable in-gallery, on your website, or in your app. Contextualises artefacts with archival footage from peer institutions.

Example: "Ancient Egypt" exhibition → British Pathé newsreels + Smithsonian photography

Collection access videos.

Thousands of items in your vaults that visitors never see. Turn them into narrated, authenticated video explorations — opening your collection to the world without leaving storage.

Example: 50 hidden collection items → 50 short documentaries → digital gallery

Donor and grant reporting.

Show funders the impact of their support with authenticated documentary content — not a slide deck. Deliverables include a provenance manifest that satisfies due diligence requirements.

Example: Annual donor report → 5-min documentary with rights clearance documentation
