MIT Museum

2009.01.31
The MIT Museum - yet another of Boston's hidden gems. An amazing science museum, and monument to the science and technology achievements at MIT. Brian and I took my cousin Molly, who is studying Engineering (and understood much more of any of this than I did).

Funky sculpture thingy that picks up and spills oil over and over - really rather elegant actually.


This is two shots of a sculpture thingy that has 6 independent, uh, thingies, that turn slowly until they come together in the center to form a chair, then break apart again.

The MIT Museum has a significant collection of holograms, and I learned that what my camera lens 'sees' isn't necessarily what my eye saw. Either way, really funky and beautiful.

This is one of the rooms with the holograms - hopefully this shot helps to show you that you can't see any of the holograms until you're near it, and then the image changes in whimsical ways as move to either side of it.
