Central Campus Public Art Tour

View select artworks and consider how art and architecture have enhanced MIT's campus design, featuring renowned artists such as Louise Nevelson, Sol LeWitt, and Olafur Eliasson.

Many of the public artworks seen on the tour is made possible by the MIT Percent-for-Art Program, administered by the List Visual Arts Center, that allocates a portion of the project funds to commission art for each new major renovation or campus construction project. The policy was formally instituted in 1968, but earlier collaborations between artists and architects can be found on MIT’s campus.

This program is free, but registration is required.

Registered attendees will receive an email the day before the tour date if needed to cancel due to weather conditions.
