The Hart Nautical Gallery is a gallery in the MIT Museum at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.[1]

The original Francis Russell Hart Nautical Museum was established in 1922 at MIT as part of the Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering.[2][3] It was incorporated into the MIT Museum in 1982.

William A. Baker, a maritime historian, was curator of the museum from 1963 until his death in 1981.[4] The collections[3][5] include construction drawings of the Doris sailing yacht, designer William Hand’s surviving drawings, and material relating to shipbuilder Jacob Aaron Westervelt.
