WHAT: Amazing innovation
MIT is a place where inventions happen, and the museum is filled with sights that will astound you. They include the largest collection of holograms in the world, nautical technology, and robotics. In its amazing exhibits you’ll see a woman turn into a tiger, a chair explode and reassemble itself, and your shadow freeze. You’ll be able to tell a fish where and how to swim, and you’ll watch robots play soccer. The MIT museum will amaze you, thrill you, and – we’ll say this quietly – it will inspire you to use science for your own creative innovation.
