It Do Curate

It Do Curate is a React-Redux application with a Rails backend that allows users to curate their own gallery.

Ever walk into a museum and all the pieces that you want to see are not there or in different exhibits located in different parts of the building? Do you believe you can curate a much better exhibit? It Do Curate lets you do just that. At the moment It Do Curate is connected to the Harvard Art Museum API which contains over 200,000 objects for users to search from ranging from paintings, photographs, sculptures, furniture and more.
