Flashes of Inspiration: the Work of Doc Edgerton May 22, 2009

'Flashes of Inspiration' explores the extraordinary ingenuity of Harold Edgerton through historic photographs, artifacts (including his cameras and lamps), and reproductions from his laboratory notebooks. The materials of the exhibition are drawn from the MIT Museum and the Institute Archives and Special Collections. The exhibition also features interactive displays that allow visitors to stop time, as Doc did, with a stroboscopic flash, or explore in greater depth the man and his photographs.
