MUES is an online-integrated system designed to streamline museum and inventory management, conservation and restoration services, anti-smuggling activities, and evidence-based decision-making processes. The system's components include the Inventory Module, Laboratory Module, Commission and Valuation Module, Museums Information Module, Anti-Smuggling Module, and the Private Museum and Collector Module.

MUES data management represents a significant step toward creating a digital twin of Türkiye’s museology activities, it replicates real-world processes and integrates them into a cohesive online system for digital operation, monitoring, and reporting. In addition to the unique ID and QR codes generated for each artifact, the system stores critical data essential for artifact and museum security, including Artifact Location Information, Artifact Specifications, High-Resolution Artifact Photographs, Chemical Marking Data, 3D Scanning Data, Artifact Custodian Information, and Artifact Laboratory History.

The implementation of such data-driven systems by institutions and organizations operating under the State’s Sustainability Guarantee, possessing facility security measures, software infrastructure safeguards, and user security certifications, is of paramount importance. More crucial than the establishment of these systems is ensuring their sustainability and continuity over time. Within the scope of the MUES Project so far:

• The Inventory Module, Laboratory Module, and Anti-Smuggling Module have been successfully developed and implemented.
• The development of the Private Museum and Collector Module, Commission/Artifact Appraisal Module, and Museum Information System Module has been completed, and these modules are in the implementation phase.

Additionally, the project aims to introduce the Excavation Module, Exhibition Module, and Business Intelligence Decision Support System in the future. Since MUES is an ongoing process, data entries are still on and will be continueing in the future according to 2024-2028 Strategic Plan of the Ministry.  Currently almost 1 million artifacts’ data has succesfully been entered and actively used in 3 of the Modules (Inventory, Laboratory, Anti-Smuggling). Together, these interconnected systems share data to streamline workflows, ensuring efficiency, accuracy, and compliance. Data entered into one system is accessible across the others, creating a seamless flow of information.
