The Global Health Odyssey Museum (GHO) is an educational facility designed to teach about CDC, public health, and the benefits of prevention. Located in Building 2 in the former CDC cafeteria, the original Global Health Odyssey presented permanent exhibitions about the history and work of CDC through dioramas, an interactive timeline, and displays of artifacts and objects. In 2000 as part of its master plan, CDC made the decision to expand GHO to the new Global Communications Center that was scheduled for completion in 2005. Planning for new exhibition, education, and support areas provided opportunities for the GHO staff to professionalize its operations to meet the highest museum standards, including collections management, education, and outreach.
