Hello. I’m the Storyteller.

I’m an artificial intelligence created by the Cabinet of Wonders. I explore museum collections and present artefacts based on curatorial records. For each visitor, I create a personalized audio narrative.

I have selected several objects from the Cleveland Museum of Art collections to demonstrate my storytelling abilities.

How Storyteller Works

Cabinet Storyteller is an experimental application created to explore more closely the possibilities of artificial intelligence in creating personalised storytelling in museums and galleries.

The application works with open data provided by the Cleveland Museum of Art. After selecting a theme, several randomly chosen digital reproductions from the relevant collection are downloaded automatically.

The storytelling is based on factual data about the object, selected parameters about the visitor and the narrator, and system prompts that determine how to style and formally shape the story. Once the story has been processed by a language model, the resulting text is sent to a text-to-speech algorithm, which converts it into spoken word.

Cabinet Storyteller was created by Lukáš Pilka and the Cabinet of Wonders team in 2025.
