Write with Open Access is a creative writing tool on Curaturae that connects writing with open museum collections. After users enter text, the system searches for relevant images from more than 3 million open-access objects in Smithsonian Open Access and generates a visual collage. It is not a traditional AI writing assistant and does not generate text. Instead, it uses language analysis and open-data retrieval to give writers new visual associations.
The tool’s workflow is relatively transparent: it first processes text by paragraph, translating and lemmatizing 10 languages—including Chinese, English, French, German, and Japanese—into English lemmas. It then performs grammatical analysis and selects only nouns and verbs as keywords. Next, it calls the Smithsonian Open Access API to search the collection, returning up to 50 results per keyword. Objects without dimensions or usable images are filtered out, and images are then randomly selected for the collage. If an image lacks a description, Microsoft Image Description is used to generate alt text. Support for Chinese input is a user-friendly point for Chinese-speaking users.
The collected information does not disclose pricing, account requirements, free quotas, or payment methods. Its core integrations include Google Translate, Smithsonian Open Access API, Microsoft’s image description service, and React.js. The project’s code is not currently open source, so it is better suited as an experiential tool or case study than as an open-source project ready for direct secondary development.
Its strengths are a clear concept, trustworthy data sources, and the fact that it only displays CC0 collection objects, making it suitable for both personal and commercial reuse. It brings the museum experience of “wandering and discovery” into the writing process, and is especially useful for art education, creative writing, and digital humanities research. The limitations are also clear: results are highly random, displayed images cannot be manually swapped, collection metadata varies in quality and may lack dimensions, descriptions, or images, large numbers of keywords can lead to longer loading times, and the semantic analysis only extracts nouns and verbs, which may miss context and emotion.
It is suitable for creative writers, teachers, curators and museum professionals, digital humanities researchers, and developers who want to understand how open collection APIs can be used. The main text does not specify accessibility from China, and because it depends on external services such as Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and the Smithsonian API, the actual experience may be affected by local network conditions. Alternatives worth exploring include Smithsonian Open Access, Rijks Data, Met Collection API, MoMA API, or building a similar workflow with open image libraries and museum digital resources that are accessible within China.
