contents Digitisation in the cultural heritage sector has produced large but fragmented repositories of museum collection data, spanning structured catalogue records, images, and unstructured descriptions. Existing museum information systems often make it difficult to integrate these sources into a unified, queryable representation that supports relation-aware exploration. We present MuseKG, an interactive knowledge graph system that organises heterogeneous museum data into a typed graph that links objects, people, organisations, images, image-derived labels, and extracted semantic entities within a coherent schema. MuseKG supports natural-language queries by grounding user questions to graph entities and retrieving a compact neighbourhood of evidence for answer generation. Through an interactive demonstration on real museum collections, we show that MuseKG supports common exploration tasks such as attribute lookup, relation exploration, and relation-aware retrieval, with answers that remain inspectable via explicit graph structures.
