Founded in 1971, the MIT Museum (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) houses collections spanning holography, technology-related networks, artificial intelligence, robotics, and the history of MIT. Its holography collection of 1,800 pieces is the largest in the world. The museum regularly presents temporary exhibitions, often at the intersection of art and technology. In addition to serving the MIT community, it offers programmes for school-age children and the general public, and coordinates the widely attended Cambridge Science Festival.
In 2017, the Avesta Group assumed responsibility for the museum’s operational and financial planning.
