In support of the MIT Museum’s mission to welcome all to participate in MIT’s unique culture of problem-solving and playful creativity, we seek proposals for innovative public programs that explore humanity's relationship with the theme of TIME.ABOUT THE THEMEWhat is time? How do we measure, understand, and perceive it? From circadian rhythms to wormholes, from atomic clocks to time travel, our year-long focus on TIME at the MIT Museum will invite audiences to experience programs, educational workshops, and installations, exploring our complex relationship with time.We are especially eager to review program proposals that demonstrate a meaningful connection to the theme of TIME and that bring a thought-provoking or unexpected perspective to it - we are interested in projects that connect art, science, technology, and design. We value programs that invite audience participation and engagement in new and inventive ways.Topics may include, but are not limited to: Space Time, Time Measurement, Time perception, Deep time, Futures, Memory, Quantum time, Cyclical time, Musical time/tempo, Time travel, and Circadian rhythms.APPLICATION GUIDELINESWho is our audience?

February 26, 2025 - September 4, 2025Hidden 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. This exhibition illuminates the life of these historic windows, tracing their refracted histories from Egypt to MIT, their ongoing conservation, and the cutting-edge research they still prompt.The Maihaugen Gallery (14N-130) is open Monday through Thursday, 10am - 4pm, excluding Institute holidays.
