In conjunction with our exhibition A New Light on Bernard Berenson: Persian Paintings from Villa I Tatti, Harvard Art Museums staff will present materials illustrating the museums’ history of collecting, teaching, and exhibiting Persian art; the event will take place in the Art Study Center. Formats to be shown include archival photographs, correspondence, diaries, teaching materials and student works, and more, and will focus on the first half of the 20th century.

This event coincides with our regular Art Study Center Open Hours; during this time, visitors may also request to see works of art not currently on view in the galleries.

The Art Study Center is located on Level 4. No appointment is necessary during open hours. Please be prepared to present a photo ID.
