David J. Sencer CDC Museum, Public health museum at CDC Headquarters in Atlanta, United States.

The David J. Sencer CDC Museum is a Smithsonian-affiliated museum about the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, housed at CDC headquarters in Atlanta. Its galleries present public health topics and the agency's history through exhibitions and educational programming, and the museum draws about 90,000 visitors a year.

The museum was founded in 1996 as the Global Health Odyssey Museum, timed to the CDC's 50th anniversary and the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. In 2011 it was renamed the David J. Sencer CDC Museum, honoring the longest-serving CDC director. It closed temporarily in 2020 and 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic, and again after a shooting in August 2025.

The museum shows how public health works in America and what the CDC does in practice. You can see historical objects and materials that document the daily work of the agency.

The museum sits at CDC Headquarters in DeKalb County, northeast of downtown Atlanta, and is reached by car or rideshare rather than by rail. Visitors pass through a security check, so bring a government-issued photo ID and allow extra time for screening before the exhibitions.
