With nothing planned today, I thought I’d go for a look at the MIT Museum. The museum has been in the news here lately, when they opened the Mark Epstein Innovation Gallery.
The “innovation gallery” is a room with some stuff related to current MIT research, like their City Car (which is really clever), and some submarine stuff. My favourite was a sensor thing that looked at a tray of beads, and then projected contours onto them from above. Nifty.
The museum proper has a bunch of different exhibits, on things as diverse as proteins and robotics. Being a techy geeky kind of guy, the robotics was very interesting. I had no idea they had build robots that could run, and even do flips! Another highlight was the art of Arthur Ganson, very cool clockwork like sculptures.
Well worth a visit if you’re in Cambridge.
