The concept

Every card tells
a true story.

Heritage Cards designs fully custom collectible card collections for cultural venues. Each card is a gateway to your institution's heritage: a species, a work of art, an artefact, an invention.

01

We create your collection

We work with your team to identify the masterpieces of your collection and design the corresponding cards.

02

Visitors collect

Cards are distributed in the gift shop, at reception or in booster packs. Each visit is an opportunity to complete their deck.

03

The collection evolves with you

New exhibitions, seasonal events, new species: your series grows and creates the desire to return.

8 thematic universes

A system tailored
to every institution.

Each universe has its own art direction, card types and specific fields. Your institution fits into the universe that suits it best.

Why Heritage Cards

A loyalty tool
like no other.

Unlike classic merchandising, collectible cards create a return behaviour. The visitor doesn't leave with a simple souvenir — they leave with the beginning of a collection.

🔄
01
Repeat visits
Each new card is a reason to come back. Series evolve with your exhibitions, seasons and events to create a regular visit cycle.
Collectors return an average of 3 to 5 times to complete a series — compared to 1.2 visits for a classic merchandising product.
💰
02
Increased gift shop revenue
Cards generate a new revenue stream in the shop: individual sales, booster packs, collector boxes, limited editions and accessories.
Average basket boosted by the collection effect: the visitor buys several cards at once or comes back specifically to find the one they're missing.
📣
03
Organic visibility
Cards are naturally shared on social media. A beautiful and desirable collectible gets photographed, posted and shared.
Each card shared on Instagram or TikTok is organic advertising for your institution, created by your own visitors.
🧠
04
Enhanced memorability
The card crystallises the memory of the visit. The visitor remembers the species they saw, the work they discovered — and finds it again at home.
A tangible, personal object creates a much stronger emotional connection than a flyer, a poster or a generic souvenir.
🎯
05
Playful pedagogy
Each card conveys knowledge in a concise and memorable way. Data, anecdotes and QR Code extend the educational experience beyond your walls.
Children and adults alike learn without realising it — the card makes knowledge desirable and accessible.
🎭
06
Reinforced identity
Each series' art direction is modelled on your visual identity. The cards are not generic: they are unmistakably yours.
Colours, typography, illustration style: everything is designed so that the card is immediately recognisable as belonging to your institution.
