Like many of you, we're hitting our stride for the fall semester here at HAM. Our special exhibitions are open, students and faculty are exploring the galleries, and perhaps most importantly, Virtual Student Guide Tours are back! We invite you to tune in each Thursday evening for an exciting look at our collections with our team of amazing Guides. Check out our online calendar for the full schedule of Guide Tours and other virtual programs.

One sign the fall season is hitting its own stride is the colorful foliage, so it's only fitting that next up in our search for House mascot lookalikes at HAM is the Currier House tree! The Currier tree was inspired by the golden apple tree on the House shield, which was itself inspired by the Radcliffe apple tree. Our own fruit tree - Pear Tree by Gustav Klimt - can be found in the first floor galleries!
