Open cultural data from organizations like the BBC, British Library, and museums can be used by the public for free to create innovative tools that help people learn about arts and cultural heritage in new engaging ways. The BathHacked event brought people together to demonstrate prototypes using open data from Bath's cultural institutions to explore how open data can support transparency, economic growth, and social good by making the city's arts and history more accessible.
