February 26, 2025 - July 17, 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.

Join us for an MIT Museum-guided tour. We will visit three exhibitions, AI: Mind the Gap, Monsters of the Deep, and Essential MIT, which showcase the Libraries' collections on display. We will also visit one exhibition, MIT Collects: Technology and the Dream, where Libraries' staff collaborated to conserve and display an MIT artifact, Robert Robertson Taylor's Diploma. This event is part of our ALA Preservation Week Celebration at MIT. The phrase "Preserve Knowledge" found in the Institute and Libraries' missions encapsulates the work of the MIT Libraries' Department of Distinctive Collections (DDC). The DDC preserves the Institute's physical and unique collections. We invite you to join us for this year's ALA Preservation Week Celebration at MIT, where we will highlight the collaborative and innovative methods we use to preserve and amplify the Institute's essential core collections. We also focus on how our staff safeguards the global human transmission of historical technologies related to bookmaking, printmaking, and historical writing traditions. The DDC is home to the Aga Khan Documentation Center, the Institute Archives, the Maihaugen Gallery, Public Services, Rare Books, Records Management, the Visual Collection, and the Wunsch Conservation Lab.
