The Museum recently opened a new display filled with Edgerton artifacts and memorabilia. You'll also find computers to access the exciting new Edgerton Digital Collections, strobe lights used to make Edgerton's iconic photographs, and a new "piddler" machine donated by the Edgerton Center at MIT.

The new exhibition highlights the completion of the first phase of a multi-year project across the Institute to digitize, catalog and make available online thousands of still and moving images, original archival materials and artifacts that document Doc Edgerton?s global travels, underwater archeology expeditions, experiments, and film work.
