We miss you! Sending you all the warmest wishes from a quiet campus. 

As we settle into our new reality of online classes, remote meetings, digital museums, and social distance, we hope this newsletter will continue to offer you a connection to the Harvard Art Museums, and that we can continue to support and inspire this community of students that makes our museum a home.  

You can expect to hear from us every two weeks with new content, calls for participation, resources for your academic work and research, and plenty of opportunities to take a break with art until we can see you again in the galleries.

Show Us Your Pigment Stickers!

Since we can’t see you studying in the café, we’d love to see how your pigment stickers are keeping you company while you study at home. Post a picture of your pigment stickers to social media with the hashtag #HarvardArtHappens. Be on the lookout in the next newsletter for some of your submissions!

With many institutions closed during this time, museum staff have been finding creative ways to stay in touch with the public. At the National Cowboy & Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, the head of security has been running their social media account while the other employees work from home. You can read all of his amazing tweets here.
