Is a hand-picked selection better than a fixed twelve?

It depends what you want. Hand-picking can flatter a particular face; a fixed set means the book is the same art-history journey for every child, and you know what you are buying before you order.

Do you make books for adults or pets?

No. Museme is built for children — the poses, the writing and the questions on each page are addressed to a child reader.

How do the guarantees compare?

Both companies print only after your approval. They offer a 30-day money-back guarantee; we remake the book free or refund it in full if the finished copy disappoints you.

Museme vs WyrdStory

Hand-picked from sixty styles, or the same twelve for everyone.

WyrdStory and Museme both print personalised portrait books. WyrdStory lets you see one free portrait before paying; with Museme you order first and approve all twelve pages before printing. The other real difference is curation: they choose fourteen styles per child from a library of sixty, while every Museme book uses the same twelve artists.
