The Mission

The art market is one of the oldest and one of the most conservative sectors in the world. But the world has changed-and so must art. Since the beginning of the 20th century and the impact of World War II, we’ve lost hundreds of thousands of artworks, documents, and stained glass pieces that were never properly archived, never digitized, never seen again. We can see the relevance of this problem in a recent accident with the most known museum in history - the Louvre, which was using the outdated software from 2000 for security. Our mission at The Heritage is to ensure those mistakes never happen again. We work at the intersection of history and innovation, using technology not to replace art—but to immortalize it. We digitize masterworks, we verify and secure them and their provenance, and we create new, lasting formats to exhibit and experience them—from blockchain passports to handcrafted, custom displays - Legacy Frames that can exhibit hundreds of unique pieces from our digital archive. We’re not just archiving the past, we’re building a new infrastructure for art to live in the digital age. We bring memory back into focus, open up collections for new audiences, and make sure that heritage isn't just remembered-it’s reborn.

The Challenge

The traditional art world is built on an infrastructure that is no longer sustainable—financially, logistically, or culturally. Collectors, galleries, and museums face enormous obstacles when it comes to preserving, distributing, and monetizing valuable works of art. Organizing exhibitions is not only expensive but also risky. Every time a work of art is transported for any purpose, such as for an exhibition, it involves a multitude of complications: insurance issues, risks to their safety, customs delays, and a huge amount of paperwork. For many institutions and private collectors, this means that important works remain hidden—locked away in storage, inaccessible to the public and cut off from cultural dialogue. Even when works are on display, opportunities to document, authenticate, and track them are limited. Provenance remains vulnerable to forgery, certificates can be lost, and ownership documents are still often processed using PDF files and outdated software. In the private market, collectors are reluctant to purchase expensive works without absolute transparency. This leads to slowdowns, fragmentation, and a decline in trust in the system. The cost of showing art is too high, and the infrastructure is too vulnerable. We are also witnessing a generational shift. Young collectors and curators are looking for flexible, digital formats, but the art world has not adapted. There is no universally accepted way to perceive or exhibit works of art in digital format without compromising their integrity or value. We are not only facing a technological problem.

The solution

The Heritage provides a new infrastructure for how art is preserved, exhibited, verified, and experienced—one that removes the need for risky logistics, restores trust through transparency, and opens up new ways to share and monetize cultural assets. We begin by creating high-resolution digital twins of physical artworks using museum-grade scanning, 3D imaging, and multispectral photography. These digital copies and passports are archived in a secure, curated database and can be used for exhibitions, sales, and research—without ever moving the original piece. Each artwork is issued a Digital Passport backed by blockchain, storing its full provenance, ownership history, exhibition record, and availability status transferring into RWA tokens. Our proprietary DP technology- digital provenance, allows anyone to verify a registered piece instantly—just by taking a photo. Through our app, collectors, curators, and potential buyers gain access to trusted, current information about the piece with complete transparency. To replace the need for shipping and physical installation, we developed Legacy Frames—handcrafted, cable-free display systems that exhibit digital artworks anywhere: in homes, offices, galleries, or public spaces. Collectors can privately exhibit their archives. Galleries can host full-scale exhibitions without moving a single object. Museums can share hidden works with new audiences, globally and securely. The Heritage bridges the gap between tradition and innovation. We protect the value of art while making it more visible, more trusted, and more accessible in a digital world.
