Dataseum at Georgia Tech – A place to play with data

The Dataseum is a vision for a museum dedicated to data and data interaction at Georgia Tech.

The first installation of the Dataseum is open in the GT Price Gilbert Library, thanks to a generous grant from the Price Gilbert Foundation to bring the Dataseum to life.

The exhibition’s theme is Local Sustainability. What can data tell us about environmental, social, and economic sustainability in the Atlanta area, in the present day, the past, and the future?

This exhibition, opened April 8, 2024, showcases projects by faculty and students at Georgia Tech.

The Dataseum at the Price Gilbert Library opened in April 2024.
