Event Rental

The MIT Museum has been the site of many special celebrations, exceptional dinners, memorable parties, lively receptions, fundraisers... and more. The Museum's exhibits and intimate gathering spaces provide a unique backdrop for events which now can be all the more special when you use the Mark Epstein Innovation Gallery.

A variety of gallery spaces allows for a range of events – the Museum easily accommodates large or small parties with the exhibits serving as ice-breakers, stimulating conversation and making a truly memorable event.

For example, a larger party works well starting with a cocktail hour in the Robots and Beyond gallery, followed by dinner in the larger function room adorned with black and white photographs from the Museum's collection. Or try dining on the first floor – photos posted below show how gracious and welcoming the Innovation Gallery can become with just a few special touches.

We welcome your questions and are happy to provide advice and consultation for using the galleries for your next event. Please call or e-mail for an appointment to tour the galleries with Allison Drescher, Event Sales and Marketing Manager, 617.253.9889; e-mail: drescher@mit.edu.
