Gapminder is a Swedish non-profit foundation that promotes the sustainable development and the achievement of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) through the use of statistical data on economic, social and environmental impacts both locally and nationally. We define as a "modern" museum "that helps making the world understandable, using the Internet." Gapminder World available on the website collects an impressive amount of data (population, energy, wealth, illness, work, trade, disaster ...) and lets them relate to each other on a graph or map.
