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!

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.

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.

By mega-star Architect Eero Saarinen. A masterpiece of modern architecture and an architectural pearl at MIT campus. visit hours are limited, so check ahead and don't miss your inside walkthrough, especially if you're an AEC professional or simply an architectural enthusiast. You won't regret it.
