The People Building the World's Art Map

Museo is shaped by people — explorers, locals, travelers, photographers, historians, and art lovers who notice what’s around them and choose to share it. Every pin on the map exists because someone stopped, looked, and documented an artwork where it lives. While Museo is built by many contributors across the globe, this entry highlights just our top ten catalogers, whose combined efforts span classical masterpieces, modern collections, and vast amounts of public art. Together, they show the full spectrum of how art exists in the world.

With 237 artworks cataloged, @mekitclap is Museo’s most prolific contributor. Their work leans strongly into museum-based art history, documenting renowned artists such as Sandro Botticelli, Max Beckmann, Vincent van Gogh, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, and others who anchor Western art history. Many of their entries are tied to major global institutes including the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, Städel Museum, Legion of Honor, and additional institutes across Europe and the United States. Their contributions give Museo deep historical grounding and academic breadth.

With 185 artworks cataloged, @RoxFox is one of Museo’s most globally influential contributors. Her cataloging spans numerous countries across Europe and the United States, mapping art housed in some of the world’s most renowned institutes, including places such as the Louvre, the British Museum and Tate network, the Rijksmuseum, the Museo del Prado, and major American institutes like The Metropolitan Museum of Art and MoMA. Her entries include works by internationally celebrated artists — from foundational figures like Leonardo da Vinci and Vincent van Gogh to pivotal modern and contemporary voices. Through this wide geographic and historical reach, @RoxFox’s contributions help users experience Museo as a truly global art map, where movements, artists, and collections can be followed seamlessly across borders.

@blackflightny has added 176 artworks, with a dominant focus on public art — particularly murals and outdoor works. Their cataloging captures the pulse of contemporary urban art, especially in New York City, featuring collectives and artists such as Tats Cru alongside independent muralists and street artists. These contributions document art that lives outdoors, often ephemeral and site-specific, reinforcing Museo’s role as a record of art that might otherwise disappear.

With 109 artworks cataloged, @sunshinececy brings range and movement to the map. Their contributions span multiple artists, eras, and locations, flowing between museum-based works and art encountered in public spaces. Most of their submissions are located in Florida, however they also have expanded the Museo map in New York, Iowa, El Salvador and Spain!

With 76 artworks added, @chillyscott is a standout public art cataloger, with the majority of their contributions focused on murals and outdoor works rather than museum collections. Their entries span the United States, as far south as Florida and as north as Illinois! These works emphasize Museo’s ability to map art that is free, visible, and woven into everyday life — art you encounter by walking, not by ticket.

@Firefox has added 44 artworks, with contributions that lean toward well-documented works by recognized artists. Their cataloging often reflects careful selection — fewer entries, but each one adding clarity and context to the map. These contributions span multiple continents and many countries - this user sure has a love for exploring the globe!

With 28 artworks cataloged, @rooseveltrowcdc’s contributions are deeply tied to place. Centered around a Phoenix arts district, their entries define a local art ecosystem. Their work highlights how Museo can map not just individual artworks, but the cultural identity of entire neighborhoods.

@MonroevilleMainStreet has added 25 artworks, focusing on community-based art in the town of Monroeville, Alabama. Their cataloging reflects regional creativity — including outdoor works and locally supported art initiatives — underscoring Museo’s mission to represent art beyond major global cities.

With 15 artworks added, @ambrocrom’s contributions connect Museo to established artists and respected institutes. Their cataloging spans city streets and formal art spaces, and they have the tendency of submitting art that is fun and playful! Be on the lookout for what they add next.

Rounding out the top ten, @sueklane has cataloged 14 artworks across a wide range of eras and locations. Their entries span from Renaissance works by Leonardo da Vinci to modern and abstract art, tied to institutes such as the Louvre, Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Musée d’Orsay, and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. Their contributions show how even a small number of carefully chosen works can add meaningful historical range.
