Very interesting and unique museum. This inexpensive yet unique museum contains exhibits you will not see anywhere else. Many early stage research that has know become mainstream. Exhibits include both medical and high tech inventions. Fun for adults as well as families.

- helping you to understand why mit has got the reputation it has ;-) - nice insights, updates and information on complex research subjects (artificial intelligence, nano science, robotics etc.)... - ...made easy to understand for everybody, even if not having any science background at all

small and interesting, about an hour is enough. the kinetic sculptures were the best. make sure to walk around the MIT campus too

A 15 minute visit is enough..nothing extraordinary to see..if you get a free ticket and have some spare time, go visit it, if not, go do something else. The almighty MIT failed in showing to the common man what it is all about. There are some robots history (poorly exposed) - if you expect to be amazed - nope.

This museum was definitely a pleasant and interesting way to spend an afternoon. While the exhibits are comparatively few in number, they will each hold your interest for a few minutes at a time. While it might appear at first glance that the exhibits are intended for adults or teens, it is definitely good for much younger children if they... More

Examine examples from the world's largest collection of holographs, and watch people waving their hands to touch images that look completely solid but have no physical presence. People of all ages love the Arthur Ganson kinetic sculptures that look like delicate, infinitely complicated Rube Goldberg machines fixated on a task. You can push a button on many of the sculptures... More

Don't miss this museum - while small in size, it displays so many things MIT and science in general can be proud about...

A very small museum, but I spent more than 2 hours there. Large exhibition of robots (including the samples of the last 5-10 years). Every robot is accompanied with a long description and history and most of them have videos where engineers talk about the inventions and tell various interesting stories. Some interesting rooms about natural phenomena, environment, global heating,... More

An eclectic and surprising collection of exhibitions - from interactive and informative displays on recent technological advances (on the first floor) to robotics, holograms, kinetic sculpture, and two fabulous photography exhibits (upstairs). My MTA membership got me in free, and as a senior, my husband paid only $4.50, and we both found it stimulating and engaging. The shop was also... More
