The museum itself is rather small and its admission fee of 7$ isn't too cheap either. As a student the price is 3$ which is suiting the much better. The exibition space (mainly the upper floor, on the ground-floor there isn't much to see) is devided into about 6 different sections starting from robots (some very nice one's you might... more

Recently returned from a week in Boston and devoted one day of that to exploring Harvard and MIT. Of all the things we did in Boston, I thoroughly enjoyed the MIT museum.
