a visual chronicle of two centuries of industrial history from Boston Manufacturing Company to Francis Cabot Lowell Mill
ON DISPLAY NOW!
This collection of images captures the evolution of the Boston Manufacturing Company site, its long-standing buildings, and the structures lost to time. Together these images create a timelapse of the mill as it was and what it became, its impact on the landscape and the city of Waltham.
A CUT ABOVE THE COMPETITION:
The Precision Surgical Products of the RUDOLPH BEAVER COMPANY
Course Correctors:
PHOENIX TAILINGS
With many original artifacts, We tell the story of Rudolph Beaver’s journey, leaving his comfortable position with Gillette to pursue his innovative vision.
His company, whose impact has grown over the course of nearly a century, is now an important global specialty manufacturer.
The first in a series of exhibits that confront the not-so-glorious side of industry’s legacy, spotlighting companies that seek to correct destructive effects that various industries have had on our world.
This series highlights the people, processes, and products that can mitigate this damage profitably and on a large scale. Phoenix Tailings is doing this in the area of rare earth elements.
