Our popular In-Sight Evenings kick off with an inside glimpse at the work our curators and conservators are doing in preparation for the reopening of our new facility on Quincy Street. Far more than a physical enhancement, the transformation will enable the collections of our three constituent museums to be conceived and presented in wholly fresh ways, unbound by traditional delineations of media, culture, or period.
Illustrated presentation begins at 6:30pm; galleries open and refreshments served from 6 to 8:30pm.
Free to members, $15 for nonmembers.
Space is limited and registration is required. RSVP by October 1, 2012, by emailing am_membership [at] harvard [dot] edu or calling 617-495-4544. Members will receive invitations in the mail.
