Looking to escape the madness this holiday season? It’s a perfect time to explore our current  exhibitions—on Winslow Homer’s Civil War, printmaking, art in early Christian Africa, and issues related to migration in contemporary art—before they close on January 5.

Investigate color in ancient Mediterranean art, printmaking techniques across time, Winslow Homer’s representations of race, and issues around migration in contemporary art. Or watch our Light Prop come to life. Check the calendar for dates.

In our newest video series, visitors share their stories in response to Crossing Lines, Constructing Home. In this clip, Italian-born Tony Williams, director of the Urban Nutcracker, discusses growing up in Boston and finding a home in dance.

Located just off the Calderwood Courtyard, our shop stocks one-of-a-kind and locally sourced gifts for bookworms, jewelry lovers, kids, and everyone else on your list (including you).

We invite visitors to celebrate connections—between works of art, and with each other. Give today and support our ongoing mission to provide meaningful art experiences for all.

In the Press

“[Migration] is a constant, pervasive consequence of human conflict and disaster—a reflection of the will to survive, and humans’ capacity to make their world anew.” —Marina N. Bolotnikova writing about Crossing Lines, Constructing Home for Harvard Magazine

“I learned that Indigenous history is American history and shouldn’t be treated as a side unit, the way it is taught in school.” —First-year Harvard student Maddy Ranalli on her experience of a class that meets at the museums in the Harvard Gazette

Watch: Narayan Khandekar talks about our pigment collection in a recent interview for Turkish news channel TRT World.
