About the museum

The Museum of Data Art is a virtual gallery curated by Travis Murphy, exploring the history and future of data visualization. From William Playfair’s first line chart in 1786 to the AI-generated visualizations emerging today, MODA traces the full arc of how humanity has turned numbers into meaning.

The building works like any museum. The Permanent Collection is always on view — seven rooms, walked in order. Alongside it, a temporary exhibition changes with the seasons; when it closes, it is kept in the archive. Visits are taken at walking pace: scroll, and the rooms come to you.
