Services
Vastari allows private collectors to upload their objects to a secure online database and remain anonymous. Registered and verified museums have access to search through the database for works relevant to future exhibitions.
Art owners can share their art with curators who will research their collections and put the works into art historical context. "The system includes two search engines: one database of exhibition proposals for collectors to browse and a search engine of objects for museums to consider for exhibition."
Currently, Vastari has registered over 400,000 works, and has over 150 museums registered.

Vastari is a privately funded company. They recently completed the Microsoft Ventures Accelerator Programme,. On 5 February 2016, the company announced a major fundraising round from private investors in the tech and art space.
