Student Guide Tour: The Museums, Revisited, with Kaitlin Hao

In a museum gallery, three young men and a young woman lean in for a closer look at a face-like, carved black wooden mask inside a Plexiglas case. The mask is displayed at eye level, mounted on a thin post, and has blue beads hanging from the bottom. Additional works of art are visible on the wall in the background, blurred by the Plexiglas case.

The Ho Family Student Guide Program at the Harvard Art Museums trains students to develop original, research-based tours of the collections. These tours, designed and led by Harvard undergraduates from a range of academic disciplines, focus on objects chosen by each Student Guide and offer a unique, thematic view into the collections.

This program is supported by the Ho Family Student Guide Fund.
