TMS Collections

Empowering Indian Museums with the World’s Leading Collection Management Platform

Kala Sampada is the exclusive partner of Gallery Systems in India, bringing TMS Collections — trusted by the world’s top museums — to transform how institutions catalog, conserve, and share their heritage.

About TMS Collections

TMS Collections is the world’s most trusted museum collections management platform, used by leading institutions such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Tate, and the Smithsonian. Designed specifically for museums, archives, and cultural organizations, it provides a centralized, web-based solution to manage every facet of a collection — from acquisition and conservation to exhibitions and public engagement.

​

Unlike generic database tools, TMS Collections is built on decades of museum expertise. It adapts to the complex needs of institutions, ensuring that data, images, conservation records, and exhibition histories are connected, secure, and accessible anytime, anywhere.

With TMS, institutions can:

Catalog with confidence

Create detailed records for objects of all types — art, artifacts, photographs, manuscripts, or digital media.

Engage audiences

Publish collections online to reach global communities, strengthening visibility and accessibility.

Streamline operations

Manage acquisitions, loans, exhibitions, conservation, and storage workflows in one integrated platform.

Protect heritage digitally

Store and manage high-resolution images, 3D scans, and multimedia files through integrated Digital Asset Management.

Enhance collaboration

Empower curators, conservators, registrars, archivists, and educators to work seamlessly on a shared system.

Scale as collections grow and integrate with emerging technologies like AR/VR, interactive displays, and AI-driven analytics.
