Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Marianna, founder of MuseMe. Last year I was standing in front of The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch at the Prado in Madrid. If you've ever seen it in person, you know the feeling. Enormous. Strange. Beautiful. Completely chaotic. Every time I looked, I noticed something new. A tiny figure hiding in a corner. A bizarre creature. A symbol I didn't understand. I wanted to know more. So I looked at the plaque beside it. Artist. Date. Oil on panel. That was it. I remember thinking, how is this all we get? That moment never left me. Over the last few months, I spoke with hundreds of people. Museum visitors. Travellers. Art lovers. Curators. People who rarely step inside a museum at all. The same things kept coming up: "I got overwhelmed." "I didn't know where to start." "I got museumed out." "I felt like I was missing something." "I wanted the story, not the dates." "The audio guide sounds like academic lecture." The more I listened, the clearer it became. The problem isn't a lack of information. Museums already have plenty of that. The problem is how we experience it. Audio guides are built for everyone. Which means they feel personal to no one. They sound like academic lectures. One-size-fits-all in a room full of completely different people with completely different curiosities. That's why I started building MuseMe. Think Spotify for museums. Instead of trying to see everything, MuseMe creates a personalized playlist around your curiosity, your mood, your interests and your available time. You don't follow a map. You don't follow a one-size-fits-all audio guide. You follow what fascinates you. Want hidden stories? Follow them. Want scandals, symbolism, mysteries? Choose your rabbit hole. Want to go deep on one painting for 20 minutes? Go. No overwhelm. No information overload. Just the stories you'll actually remember. Today, I'm excited to share that MuseMe has been accepted into the Fighters Program at STATION F, powered by TikTok. For those who don't know STATION F, it's the world's largest startup campus in Paris and home to companies like Hugging Face, Alan, my favourite Yuka and many others. I'm a Fighters Apprentice. Which honestly sounds exactly right for where we are. We're not done. We're not launched. We're in the messy, honest, unglamorous middle of building something that doesn't exist yet and we are having hundreds of conversations, a growing conviction and a problem worth solving. Because we believe that in a world where we personalize everything from the dating apps to our Starbucks orders, culture should feel personal too. The landing page is live and the waitlist is open. If you feel this pain, love the idea or just want to see where it goes, come join the ride. I can promise it will be wild. https://themuseme.com/
