Yes and no. We do not own the original, physical works of art in our museum. To see those, you would literally have to travel around the world (and we highly recommend doing that if you can). But, in most cases, we, as much as anyone else, own the images of those works of art, which are in the public domain. Items in the public domain are owned by all of us. In some cases, where images of major artworks are still under copyright, and thus not in the public domain, we have licensed the rights to include those works in the museum.

In addition to supporting our museum (and, indirectly, museums around the world), membership will give you full access to the Art Authority Museum’s entire permanent collection (when available) as well as enabling a number of membership-only features including:
• access to rooms devoted to some of the greatest individual artists of all time
• your own personal member's lounge
• play your own music during your visit
• discounts in the gift shop
• many more features to come

*Member benefits planned during our inaugural year of 2024.

• get one if you can, or ask a friend to try theirs
• go into an Apple Store and ask for a demo
• watch our videos (not the same experience, but a feel for what we're about anyway)
• come by our booth at the combined MSA and AAM trade show in Baltimore this May
• apply for a job at the Museum

A key aspect of our mission at Art Authority is to help museums thrive. A big reason we've been pioneering Vision Pro technology is to guide our museum partners as it becomes mainstream.

Our plan is to first offer free galleries (rooms) within our Museum to any of our museum partners, to help them get started. Ultimately we hope to be a major resource for museums who want their own full virtual presence, similar to the Art Authority Museum but more fully representing their space and collection.
