MuseMe started with one painting.

Last year, I was standing in front of The Garden of Earthly Delights at the Prado Museum in Madrid.

I was fascinated by the painting. Every time I looked, I noticed another hidden symbol, strange creature, or tiny detail. I wanted to understand what I was seeing. The museum label gave me the artist, date, and medium.

That was it.

Over the next few months, I interviewed hundreds of museum visitors, travelers, art lovers, and curators. I kept hearing the same things:

• "I got overwhelmed."

• "I didn't know where to start."

• "I wanted the stories, not the labels."

• "The audio guide felt like a lecture."

That convinced me the problem wasn't a lack of information, it was a lack of personalization. So I'm building MuseMe: an AI companion that creates personalized museum experiences based on your curiosity, interests, available time, and mood.

We're still pre-launch, still learning and still talking to users every week.

I'd love your honest feedback: What's one product assumption you held so strongly that user interviews completely changed your mind?
