  1. Can I visit and tour the Media Lab?

    The MIT Media Lab is an academic research laboratory that does not offer general public tours of the lab's research areas.

    On a case-by-case basis, we accept requests from mission-aligned organizations interested in learning how to engage more formally with the lab (corporate member, donor, philanthropic organization, etc.). Please fill out the request form if you'd like to request a tour.

  2. I work for a Media Lab member company. How do I arrange a visit?

    Please email external-relations@media.mit.edu. 

Lobby Exhibits

The lobby of the new Media Lab building (MIT building E14, 75 Amherst Street) houses a rotating series of research and historical exhibits and is open to the public from Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm. The original Media Lab building (MIT building E15, the Wiesner Building) is home to the MIT List Visual Arts Center and is open to the public. In addition, the lobby of E15 and adjacent outdoor spaces are home to several pieces from MIT's public art collection, including Kenneth Noland's Here-There, which inspired the original Media Lab colorbar logo.
