- Feb 2710:00 AMRefracted Histories: 19th-c. Islamic Windows as a Prism into MIT’s Past, Present, and FutureHidden within MIT’s Distinctive Collections, many architectural elements from the earliest days of the Institute’s architecture program still survive as part of the Rotch Art Collection. Among the artworks that conservators salvaged was a set of striking windows of gypsum and stained-glass, dating to the late 18th- to 19th c. Ottoman Empire.
