Unique and interesting collection. Brought my 8 year old and he had a harder time appreciating the exhibits. But there was a kid workshop that he loved.
If you’re walking around the MIT campus this is definitely a place worth visiting
The museum is comprised of several floors filled with gadgets, inventions and investigations made by MIT students, covering a wide range of topics from astronomy, genetics, robotics as well as Neural Networks, computing and A.I.
The rooms are spacious. The bathrooms are accesible. There’s water fountains as well as places to recharge and sanitize your phone

The museum is smaller than the average museum you would go to, but you will still spend 2 hours there easily. As an engineer I loved learning about the latest advances in technology as well as learning about the evolution of science and technology through history. There are many interactive things to do while learning at the same time, great for kids and adults!
The museum is small, with three floors, but it was a very useful place because it was designed to directly experience how science is applied to real life and how it changes and evolves. I realized as I was leaving that I had spent almost 4 hours in this museum. In particular, I highly recommend this museum to anyone who thinks about the connection between science and human life to have a great time.
Great museum. Lots of amazing innovations have come out of MIT and I am sure many more will also. Good variety of exhibits and just the right size to spend a few hours.
Pretty cool museum. Great exhibits on innovation, tech, AI and the incredible work and contributions MIT has had to society as a whole. Def worth a visit. Quite educational and interactive. I for instance are not good at all at detecting deep fake AI generated videos. My son did a beautiful poem assisted by chat GPT about the sun. We also learned that typing patterns can help in the early detection of Parkinson. Scratch the visual programming language was first created at the MIT Media Lab and all the amazing contributions that MIT did in developing the software that helped the Apollo mission to the moon. And lastly we simulated what will it take to reduce global warming.
I was so amazed at how fun this museum was for me! I went because my husband is a huge nerd and loves Claude Shannon, but I had a great time!! AI poetry and MIT pranks of the past were unexpectedly some of my favorites. We stayed about 3 hours - reading the stuff and using the interactive exhibits. There was a good crowd on a Saturday but the docents were great and kept people informed and moving along. I think little buddies might have a harder time (5 and under). *Great little museum store*
