About the Dataseum 

How much do you know about the data around you? Many datasets are collected and maintained by municipal and private agencies in and around the city of Atlanta, including Georgia Tech. These datasets are publicly available, yet are rarely presented in a public-facing way. 

The Dataseum is an interactive museum aiming to connect the public to scientific research through human-data interactions. This space displays publicly available data collected for research, policy, and scientific purposes to help you view sustainability in a new light. 

How can you hear trends in the ocean, see what’s in the air, and navigate flora and fauna in the Atlanta area? What parts of these data represent you? Join us in celebrating the opening of the Dataseum!
