El MIT Museum es la cara visible del Massachusetts Institute of Technology, con un fondo de aproximadamente 1,5 millones de objetos procedentes de los laboratorios, talleres y archivos de la institución. En octubre de 2022 reabrió sus puertas en una flamante sede de más de 5000 metros cuadrados en el 314 de Main Street, en Kendall Square, distribuyendo sus salas interactivas en las tres primeras plantas del Gambrill Center. Entre sus piezas más destacadas figuran desarrollos de robótica e inteligencia artificial, las esculturas cinéticas de manivela creadas por Arthur Ganson y la colección de holografía más extensa del planeta, además de maquetas navales, instrumental científico y la propia historia del MIT. Sus temporadas temáticas rotativas —TIME en 2025-26 u OCEANS a partir de septiembre de 2026— complementan el recorrido con obras de arte comisionadas para la ocasión y exposiciones temporales nacidas de la vanguardia investigadora.
