“See Beautiful Paintings on Your Lock Screen”

Muse mission is to transform the lock screen into a tool of discovery and inspiration. The Muse app features a different painting on the lock screen every time a person accesses his phone, transforming a necessary but unproductive step into an inspiring moment of learning. The Muse Recommendation Engine selects the best paintings for each user using a proprietary item-to-item collaborative filtering algorithm. Unlike traditional collaborative filtering, our algorithm’s online computation scales independently of the number of users and number of items in the database. The Muse Publishing Tool enables artists and art institutions to publish on the lock screen and reach new audiences. The Muse Database has over 100,000 paintings by the Old Masters and by the best Emerging Artists (and is growing fast). Muse is extremely user-centric. We work to build a superior user experience.

In our words: The 2014 listing described Muse as a lock-screen app that showed a new painting each time the phone was unlocked, chosen by a recommendation engine, with a publishing tool for artists and institutions and a database it put at over 100,000 paintings.
