Michael John Gorman, director of the MIT Museum, speaks with Boston Globe reporter Mark Feeney about his view that science museums can help facilitate the “pleasure of finding things out.” Gorman adds: that museums “can give people that spark, that hunger to learn and to dive in deeper. If we are that meeting place for the amazing minds we have around MIT and Cambridge and the Boston area with the broader public, then we can ignite a lot of those sparks. The challenge is not that we have too few ideas. It’s that’s we have too many and how do we shepherd them.”
