With the semester in full swing, does anyone else feel a bit like the work above by American sculptor Arlene Shechet? This precariously balanced mix of objects can be seen in our special exhibition Disrupt the View: Arlene Shechet at the Harvard Art Museums, on view on Level 1.

Take a break from the academic balancing act with our amazing programs. Whether you're interested in meeting a contemporary artist, expressing yourself through a drama therapy model, or exploring our ancient art collection, there's always something going on at the museums. We're excited to welcome you!
