Dataland is a museum of AI images located at The Grand LA in downtown Los Angeles. The first museum of AI images, it opened on June 20, 2026.[1] The museum was founded by media creator Refik Anadol and Efsun Erkılıç.
Dataland's inaugural exhibition, Machine Dreams: Rainforest, uses Refik Anadol Studio's Large Nature Model (LNM), an open-source generative AI model trained on more than 500 million nature images and over 50,000 audio recordings, including birdsongs and rain. [2] [3]
Dataland was designed in collaboration with architecture firm Gensler and with consultancy Arup. It spans 25,000 square feet.[4]
