Students from the Master of Science in Data Visualization program at Parsons' School of Art, Media, and Technology were assigned a challenging task: interpreting data from The Met's Open Access collection to design thoughtful, creative, and often eye-opening presentations.

Through the Museum’s Open Access program and the release of its public API, the Met collection is empowering users and data science in new and innovative ways.

In this blog post, George Oates examines how M+'s approaches the opportunities afforded by 21st century museum practices, like open data and open collection imagery, and relates this to its public API and collection metadata to produce data visualisation and analysis.
