Museum Programs Software Built for More Than Registration

Most museum event software manages registrations in isolation, with no connection to the visitor, member, and donor data that powers the rest of your institution. Muse goes further.

Every camp, class, workshop, and event registration is linked to a constituent record, giving your team visibility into who is participating, what their relationship with your institution looks like, and where opportunities exist to deepen that relationship through membership or giving.

Whether you run a museum, aquarium, zoo, or any other cultural institution, Muse museum programs and camps software was built to make every registration part of a bigger institutional story, not just a line item in your enrollment report.

Muse offers a highly flexible registration workflow that can be configured to match the specific needs of any program your institution runs.

Customizable enrollment forms allow you to collect exactly the information you need, from standard contact details to custom fields specific to your program. Age-based eligibility rules automatically enroll participants in the right programs. Multi-session and semester registration, waitlist management, registration deadlines, and capacity limits are all built in.

For museums running everything from single-day workshops to multi-week summer camps, Muse museum programs software gives your team the flexibility to manage any program type without workarounds or manual processes.

Muse collects all the information your program team needs during the registration process with customizable fields.

Standard data collection includes emergency contacts, special requests and accommodations, liability waivers, and photo and media release consent. For camps and multi-day programs, you can also collect meal preferences, extended care needs, and transportation requirements.

For museums, aquariums, zoos, and cultural institutions of every kind, having all participant data collected and stored in one place means no more chasing forms, no more scattered spreadsheets, and no more missing information on the first day of camp.

Every person who registers for a program in Muse is automatically connected to a constituent record that captures their full relationship with your institution.

That means your membership manager can see that a camp participant’s family hasn’t renewed their membership. Your development director can identify program families who have never donated. And your education director can see which participants are returning versus first-time attendees.

Connecting program participants to your constituent record turns every registration into an opportunity for a long-term relationship.

Muse includes program-level reporting that gives your team visibility into enrollment trends, attendance, revenue, and participant data across every camp, class, workshop, and event your institution runs.

Muse museum programs software is part of a unified platform, so reporting goes beyond basic enrollment numbers. You can see how program participants engage with the rest of your institution, from ticketing and membership to retail and giving, giving your leadership team a complete picture of program impact.

Because Muse includes a visual report builder, anyone on your team can pull the reports they need without writing a single line of code.

Yes. Muse supports a full range of program add-ons that can be offered during registration, including extended care before and after programs, meal and snack options, t-shirts, program materials, and transportation.
Add-ons are selected and paid for during registration, keeping the entire enrollment process in one seamless workflow. Revenue from add-ons is tracked separately, so your finance team has clean reporting on program fees versus add-on income.

For museums, aquariums, zoos, and cultural institutions running camps and multi-day programs, add-on management in Muse means no more collecting separate forms or reconciling payments from multiple sources.

Yes. Muse supports member pricing across all program types, including camps, classes, workshops, events, and lectures. Member discounts are automatically applied during registration when a participant’s membership status is verified, giving your members a seamless enrollment experience without manual lookups or staff intervention.
For cultural institutions where membership is a core part of the community relationship, offering member pricing for museum programs is one of the most effective ways to demonstrate membership value and drive renewals.

Whether you run a museum, aquarium, zoo, or any other cultural institution, Muse connects membership and program enrollment, so your team never has to manage them as separate systems.
