I loved this museum . You can see student's work and lots of other fun things. It's free once a month.

American Mensa

This is the “place where science, technology and innovation meet.” In other words: geek out over here. It’s free from 10 a.m.-noon on Sundays, so throw that on the weekend schedule. Read more

A small museum but has lots of interesting exhibits , it takes about 45min ~ 1hr to explore everything. Free for MIT students plus one guest!

Erkan Saka

Relatively small museum . It is open every day. The gift shop is especially good for stuff for children. Student projects are also exhibited .

Matt Helsley

The exhibits are wonderful if you are inclined towards abstract art , mathmatical art , architecture , engineering , and science.

Roz Thomas

Great little museum . Arthur Ganson's kinetic sculptures are captivating and the exhibition on Ulrich Wust is so interesting.

Cool exhibits on robots and Polaroid. Also, explore around until you find the MIT model railroad club room .

The moral machine could be controversial, do you hit the old person, or the millenial?
