Mellon Foundation recognized the Program in Museums and Society for its unique offerings with a grant to support museum-based projects with our campus museums and with partner institutions in Baltimore and Washington, D.C. This grant was renewed in 2013 as part of a larger program in support of the arts and humanities at Hopkins and funded more than a dozen collaborative projects with institutions as diverse as the Baltimore Museum of Art, Jewish Museum of Maryland, Maryland Zoo, Baltimore Museum of Industry, JHU Archaeology Museum and others. Many smaller grants in pedagogy, the arts, and practical ethics continue to launch innovative digital projects, art installations, and archives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2017 the program has offered an annual course in partnership with the <a href=\"https:\/\/artbma.org\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/artbma.org\/\">Baltimore Museum of Art<\/a> as part of their ongoing collaboration with that museum. In 2021 a collaboration with JHU&#8217;s Inheritance Baltimore project launched community-based work with stewards of Baltimore&#8217;s Black cemeteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See below for a list of recent projects, or check this list of <a href=\"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/museums-society\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2026\/02\/2017-Previous-Museum-Projects.pdf\">pre-2017 projects.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-query is-layout-flow wp-block-query-is-layout-flow\"><ul class=\"columns-3 wp-block-post-template is-layout-grid wp-container-core-post-template-is-layout-2fc57c17 wp-block-post-template-is-layout-grid\"><li class=\"wp-block-post post-3152 ksasexhibits type-ksasexhibits status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry exhibition_type-campus exhibition_type-digital\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:30px;padding-right:30px;padding-bottom:30px;padding-left:30px\"><figure class=\"wp-block-post-featured-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"666\" height=\"660\" src=\"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/museums-society\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2025\/01\/Data-and-Digital-Museum-images-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"Data and Digital Museum images 1\" style=\"object-fit:cover;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/museums-society\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2025\/01\/Data-and-Digital-Museum-images-1.jpg 666w, https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/museums-society\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2025\/01\/Data-and-Digital-Museum-images-1-300x297.jpg 300w, https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/museums-society\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2025\/01\/Data-and-Digital-Museum-images-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/museums-society\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2025\/01\/Data-and-Digital-Museum-images-1-240x238.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 666px) 100vw, 666px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/museums-society\/exhibit\/data-and-the-digital-in-museums\/\" target=\"_self\" >Data and the Digital in Museums<\/a><\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-post-date\"><time datetime=\"2025-01-30T10:42:20-05:00\">January, 2025<\/time><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt\"><p class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt__excerpt\">Data is ubiquitous, but what story does it tell?
