Attraction Description:

Founded in 1971 as the MIT Historical Collections by Warren Seamans, the MIT Museum’s original mandate was the collection and preservation of historical artifacts then scattered throughout MIT. Renamed MIT Museum in 1980 by the MIT Corporation Executive Committee, it began to develop exhibits and educational programs based on the Museum’s MIT-focused collections and designed to meet the needs and interests of the MIT community as well as society at large.
