I visited on a Sunday. The rest of campus was busy with lots of tour groups with kids from Asia (India and China) and their parents. So it was a bit hectic. But the MIT chapel was quiet and peaceful. It is interdenominational, but there is a feel that will affect many who believe in a higher power. The architecture just makes one feel a shared was and similarity with others and a motivation to metaphorically and physically look to the heavens.

This tiny chapel has a beautiful flow of water from the inside to the outside of the building. Intricate, curvilinear masonry really pushes preconceived notions of materiality potential. Situated slightly off the beaten path, this chapel is such a lovely and peaceful surprise.

The MIT chapel of Eero Saarinen, a Finnish American architecture Master, is one of the top places to visit inside the MIT campus and in Boston. The details are spectacular and the main experience will be between you and the light. Everything is devoted to the light, from the top, the bottom and the big glass wall. The chapel is not properly a religious place but one where everyone can find silence and meditate or enjoy the amazing waterfall of light from the ceiling.

I'm a wedding photographer and I recently shoot a wedding here. I must say it's a true gem in the heart of MIT campus! The classic interior is simply breathtaking, with its high ceilings and airy feeling that gives photographs depth. Its beautiful gardens right next to the chapel itself is amazing too! The greenery and the flowers create a stunning contrast with the stark architecture of the chapel. It's a one-of-a-kind space that will leave ever lasting impression :) I definitely recommend it as a wedding ceremony venue!

Beautiful architectural icon; one of the best modernist chapel buildings. It can be difficult to visit if you aren't affiliated, as key card access seems to be required at most times of day. Find a friend!

A quiet place to meditate and cool down from stress. Doesn't necessarily follow a particular denomination. People of all religions welcome. Priest can be quite strict with visiting times. Inside is quite dark. Small altar. Chairs circle around it. Near the Auditorium and Student Center. In front of Mass. Av.

I really love this Chapel....just sit and keep looking at it ...one of the best place in MIT campus.

Tranquil sacred place with unique style. Great design - dont underestimate from ouside look.

Breathtakingly beautiful place. We are MIT students and one day just decided to adventure inside. One of the best decisions ever made. Very calm chapel with a little podium surrounded by strings of golden leaves hanging from the ceiling. Sat down to enjoy the serenity. Hugged each other and nearly burst into tears when we left.

Beautiful chapel in the heart of MIT campus. No matter what your denomination is, you should visit this quiet and peaceful place. If possible visit during day time because the design is such that if the day is bright sun light will come in through small little windows making beautiful light effects.

A beautiful building and wonderful space to visit.

Although not particularly remarkable looking on the outside, once inside it is a beautiful and powerful space for contemplating the building itself, for religious reflection, or for meditation.

Such a quiet and peaceful place, surrounded by chaos and a lot of energetic students. Great architecture landscape
