This is not a large museum, so spending a couple of hours should cover it all. There isn't much on the ground floor, most of the exhibits are upstairs and those were quite cool. There are some displays of robots, hologram (awesome!) and some kinetic installations which were really cool, some of which you could interact with.The gift shop on... More

This is a beautifully curated Science museum with exhibits for all ages. Special exhibits make it worth revisiting.

My husband is an engineer, and as soon as he found out about the existence of this museum (soon after we moved to the Boston area), he wanted to go check it out. We were in the neighborhood the other day and decided to stop in. Here are my overall thoughts (as someone who does not work in any of... More

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
