David J. Sencer CDC Museum

The David J. Sencer CDC Museum in Atlanta, Georgia is devoted to the work and history of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, presenting public health through exhibitions, educational programs, and web archives. Founded in 1996 as the Global Health Odyssey Museum during the CDC’s 50th anniversary year, it was renamed in 2011 for David J. Sencer, the agency’s longest-serving director. Affiliated with the Smithsonian Institution, it aims to show the value of prevention-based public health while preserving the CDC’s heritage and accomplishments. Its exhibitions connect major public health topics with the broader history of disease prevention and response.
