Gallery Talk

Harvard Art Museums
32 Quincy Street, Cambridge, MA

Due to Harvard University’s recent on-campus meeting and event guidance around Coronavirus (COVID-19), this event has been canceled. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

In honor of International Women’s Day on March 8, join our curatorial and conservation fellows as they explore “dangerous women” throughout our collections.

Our galleries are full of stories—this series of drop-in talks gives visitors a chance to hear the best ones! The talks highlight new works on view, take a fresh look at old favorites, investigate artists’ materials and techniques, and reveal the latest discoveries by curators, conservators, fellows, visiting artists, technologists, and other contributors.

Offered by:
Joanna Seidenstein, Stanley H. Durwood Foundation Curatorial Fellow, Division of European and American Art
Julie Wertz, Beal Family Postgraduate Fellow in Conservation Science, Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies
Lauren Hanson, Stefan Engelhorn Curatorial Fellow in the Busch-Reisinger Museum
Jen Thum, Inga Maren Otto Curatorial Fellow, Division of Academic and Public Programs

Free with museum admission. Gallery talks are limited to 15 people and tickets are required. Ten minutes before each talk, tickets will become available at the admissions desk.

Please meet in the Calderwood Courtyard, in front of the digital screens between the shop and the admissions desk. Museum staff will be on hand to collect tickets.
