MIT Museum Collections will close for all external, non-MIT loans, image and film reproduction requests, as well as to outside researchers, classes, and tours from December 2023 to September 2024 while the museum moves its 1.5 million objects to improve preservation and access to these materials.

We will do our best to accommodate certain MIT projects during this period. Students, faculty, and staff should contact the collections staff by completing this online request form to determine what options are available. Some MIT projects may be possible; MIT students, faculty, and staff will receive a response from museum staff.

Non-MIT inquiries may not receive any response at this time.
