About this Event

The MIT Museum's collection of over 1.5 million objects tells an unbelievable story of the history of science, technology, engineering, and education from the late 19th to the 21st century. Learn how the museum's curators use the things of the past—things that people made and used to change lives and history—as tools to provide insight into the present and, more importantly, as resources for a better future.
