Harvard Artifacts Data Engineering Streamlit

This is a full-stack data engineering tutorial wrapped in a Claude skill. It walks through building an ETL pipeline that pulls artifact data from Harvard Art Museums API, normalizes it into MySQL tables (metadata, media, colors), then visualizes the results in a Streamlit dashboard with Plotly charts. The skill includes 20+ prebuilt analytical queries for slicing museum collections by culture, century, and department. It's honestly more of a learning project than production tooling, but that's the point. You get hands-on practice with API pagination, relational database design with foreign keys, and interactive dashboards. Good for portfolio work or if you're learning data engineering patterns with real cultural heritage data instead of yet another retail dataset.

Harvard Artifacts Collection Data Engineering & Analytics

Skill by ara.so — Data Skills collection.

This project provides an end-to-end data engineering and analytics application for the Harvard Art Museums API. It demonstrates real-world ETL pipelines, SQL database design, analytical queries, and interactive Streamlit visualizations for museum artifact data.

What This Project Does

  • Data Collection: Fetches artifact data from Harvard Art Museums API with pagination and rate limiting
  • ETL Pipeline: Extracts, transforms, and loads artifact metadata, media, and color information into relational SQL databases
  • SQL Analytics: Runs 20+ predefined analytical queries for insights on artifacts by culture, century, department, and media
  • Visualization: Creates interactive Plotly dashboards in Streamlit for exploring query results
  • Database Management: Manages MySQL/TiDB Cloud schemas with proper foreign key relationships
