MIT is not so much a place as it is a unique collection of exceptional people. Its experimental culture and collaborative spirit drive innovations that encompass global issues and improve our daily lives.
Join Exhibit Developer Lindsay Bartholomew for a tour of our Essential MIT gallery and learn how the MIT community works. Asking questions others may not ask, and trying the unexpected in pursuit of a greater solution, is essential.

Assistant Curator of Architecture and Design, Jonathan Duval, is back to talk about Stanley Tigerman's "The Anti-Cruelty Society Addition."
On view now in our Drawing After Modernism exhibition, located in the Ronald A. (1954) and Carol S. Kurtz Photography Gallery.
Stanley Tigerman (1930-2019), The Anti-Cruelty Society Addition, 1981.
In the 1970s and 80s, many archtects sought to deviate from the traditions of modern architecture, finding it dull, dogmatic, and formulaic. Drawing soon became the primary medium of expression for their new ideas.
Experience the wonder that is Drawing After Modernism, on view now in our Ronald A. (1954) and Carol S. Kurtz Photography Gallery.
