You get a wall of real artifacts on any topic, and every tile links back to the museum's own record.

Can AI build an interactive museum gallery on any topic?
Yes. Ask Perplexity Computer to build a clickable gallery from open-access collections on your subject. As of November 2026, it gathers the images, writes a caption for each tile, links each one to its source record, and hosts the page for you. It suits parents and teachers who want a topic to feel real. Say who the reader is, so the captions fit a child, a student or an adult.

Your prompt

This AI can't be filled in from a link, so the button copies your prompt: paste it into the new chat.
The prompt that gets copied
Build me an interactive gallery about [YOUR SUBJECT, e.g. ancient Egypt] for [WHO IT'S FOR, e.g. my 10-year-old]. Rules: 1. Use only images from open-access collections that allow reuse, such as museum open-access programs, public libraries and space agencies. 2. Pick 30 to 60 items and group them into 4 to 6 themes that tell the story in order. 3. Show them as a grid of tiles. When someone clicks a tile, show what it is, who made it, when, and why it matters, in two or three sentences pitched for the reader I named. 4. Link every tile to its source record so we can read more. 5. Add a short intro at the top and a five-question quiz at the end. Make it work on a phone and give me a link I can share.
Ask Perplexity Computer to build a clickable gallery on any subject from open museum and space-agency collections. Click a tile to read what it is, who made it, when, and where it comes from.
