A modern digital platform for the Warsaw Uprising Museum

Managing historical heritage on an unprecedented scale

We have implemented an advanced website based on our proprietary Quantoo CMS, enabling the management of large sets of historical data, providing flexible content creation, and handling high user traffic.

The project for the Warsaw Uprising Museum is an example of the combination of technology, history, and interactive education.

Project goals and challenges

Main implementation goals:

  • Intuitive interface
    Creating a responsive user interface according to the provided graphic design
  • High throughput
    Website optimization for high daily throughput (250,000 page views, 60,000 unique users)
  • Data management
    Organizing and effectively managing large amounts of historical data
  • Editorial autonomy
    Providing tools for independent expansion of the website by the museum's editorial team

Technology and solutions

We used our proprietary Quantoo CMS system, which enables flexible content management and integration with advanced database mechanisms. The extensive composer allows Museum editors to quickly and intuitively manage the home page and any section of the website using predefined content blocks.

Unique technological elements:
  • Advanced ElasticSearch search engine enabling lightning-fast searches across huge data sets.
  • A publishing module offering full control over the appearance of pages.
  • Full responsiveness (RWD) ensuring comfort of use on any device.
  • WCAG compliance, ensuring content is accessible to people with disabilities.

Dedicated modules and unique solutions for the Museum

We have created dedicated modules for the Museum, enabling the presentation and management of unique data sets:

  • Oral History Archive
    over 3,500 digital memories of participants in the Uprising.
  • Biographies of the insurgents
    a detailed database with over 52,000 records.
  • Virtual Wall of Remembrance
    an interactive space commemorating over 10,000 event participants.
  • Civilian Victims Database
    almost 50,000 records described in detail.
  • Database of Insurgents' Graves
    location of burial sites, nearly 10,000 records.
  • Photo library
    over 17,000 photos and documents, with the option to order digital copies.

Data management and optimization

We optimized the structure of the Museum's databases by developing an efficient mechanism for importing and expanding collections. This allows the Museum to freely develop its online collections by independently adding new records. The implementation of ElasticSearch ensured fast access to data, even with heavy user traffic.

Hosting, technical support and training

Our collaboration didn't end with implementation. We offer the Museum comprehensive technical, hosting, and training support. We regularly update the system and provide ongoing technical support and consultations for the Museum team, enabling the platform's ongoing development.

Audioguide

To enhance the visit to the Warsaw Uprising Museum, we have created a modern audio guide that guides visitors through the exhibition in an intuitive and comfortable way. The solution was designed with minimal implementation costs in mind – it is based entirely on web technologies, so users do not need to install additional applications on their devices.

The audioguide is available in four languages, ensuring accessibility for a wide range of visitors, including international visitors. The entire experience is managed directly from the Quantoo CMS administration panel, allowing Museum staff to conveniently update and add new audio content and easily manage translations.

Thanks to this solution, the Museum offers a modern way of visiting that enhances the quality of the visitor experience while maintaining full control over the content and minimizing administrative costs.
