Gallery Talk

Harvard Art Museums
32 Quincy Street, Cambridge, MA

In honor of Valentine’s Day, four of our fellows will offer a special, one-hour talk about works with special signatures or dedications.

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:
Camran Mani, Cunningham Fellow in Academic and Public Programs
Frances Gallart Marques, Frederick Randolph Grace Curatorial Fellow in Ancient Art
Julie Wertz, Beal Family Postgraduate Fellow in Conservation Science, Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies
Shiva Mihan, Schroeder Curatorial Fellow of Islamic Art

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.
