MIT List Visual Arts Center (LVAC)

As the contemporary art museum at MIT, the List Center presents a dynamic program of six to nine special exhibitions in its galleries annually, including a program of evolving site-specific work by emerging artists known as List Projects, as well as a broad range of educational programs, events, and scholarly publications. 

The collection differs from conventional museum holdings by the focus on contemporary art, and public visibility. The Institute itself has become a museum, with works of art sited outdoors, in offices, lobbies, libraries, corridors, and conference rooms, thus becoming integrated into daily life and working situations of those affiliated with MIT and of MIT’s many visitor populations — visiting scholars, students, parents, alumni, and friends.
