Khyenpa: Art & Object Registry

Khyenpa is a public register of one-of-a-kind things: one painting, one building, one instrument, one car. Every entry gets a permanent ID, like KH-001901, that is never reissued and never points at anything else. Browse more than 22,000 records across 52 divisions, from paintings and sculpture to pipe organs, bridges, aircraft and boats. Each one opens on its pictures and carries its facts, its sources and its credits. FIND ANYTHING - Search by name, by maker, or by KH number - Browse a division, sorted by newest, most viewed or fastest growing - Read a record in full: its typed facts, every image, where it came from and who made it REGISTER YOUR OWN WORK - Made something? Register it from your iPhone in a few minutes - The form adapts to what you are registering, and shows what is left to fill in - Add photos straight from your library; location data is removed from every photo - Publish, and your work receives its permanent ID on the spot CLAIM WHAT YOU MADE If you made a thing someone else registered, claim it. Once staff confirm it, the record shows you as its maker. EVERY RECORD CARRIES ITS SOURCES Seeded entries come from openly licensed public sources, and each one shows its attribution, its licence and a link to where it came from. Anyone can suggest a correction. WHAT IT IS NOT Nothing is sold and nothing is for sale. There are no ads and no third-party tracking, and reading the register needs no account. WHO IT IS FOR Artists and makers recording their own work. Collectors recording provenance. Museum lovers, archivists and anyone who wants a lasting public record of one particular thing. Registered once. Kept forever.
