Museum Mosaic

The brief

Museum Mosaic is Cultre's annual recap of India's museum sector, published by Cultech Wave Pvt. Ltd. Its 2023, 2024 and 2025 editions needed an online home. A reader should open an edition in the browser, not download a single PDF, and find one story without paging through the whole book.

What we built

Each edition opens in an in-browser reader with clickable contents, resumable reading and shareable page links. A search across all three editions returns individual stories with snippets and page jumps. The 438 story pages are generated from one record copied from the print, and the editions stay available as compact PDFs of 15 MB, 25 MB and 21 MB. Games from the printed pages sit beside the reader. On 22 October 2026 a full re-sweep of 468 pages found no errors, no page with a visible layout jump and a median largest paint of 1.43 seconds.

How it works for the visitor

A reader opens an edition, leaves, and comes back to the page where they stopped. They can send a link to a single page, or search the three editions and jump from a snippet to the story. On a phone with data saver on, with under 4 GB of memory, or with reduced motion set, a Lite mode switches on by itself.

One detail worth knowing

Facts are copied from the print, never composed. When the print has a slip, such as "Musuem" in a 2025 caption, the site shows the corrected word and records the print error rather than quietly fixing it.
