Thanks to all who joined us for the Materials Lab drop-in workshops last week. It was great to see everyone! We're rolling into February with more programs and the return of Student Guide Tours!

Speaking of return, the House mascot lookalike showcase is back, with an apology to the Dudley Community as we don't have any images of Kenny G in our collections. Instead, we offer this cat playing a saxophone.

From Our Friends...

You are invited to attend the opening program for Radcliffe's new contemporary art exhibition Precipitation for an Arid Landscape. Join the online conversation between artist Gala Porras-Kim and art historian Martha Buskirk today at 4 PM. 

Reconsider the history and context of the Benin Bronzes in the care of Harvard with Sarah Clunis, the new curator of African collections at the Peabody Museum. 

Get closer to The Night Watch than ever before, with the help of 717 gigapixels. The Rijksmuseum recently unveiled the largest and most detailed photograph of any artwork, and naturally they chose Rembrandt van Rijn’s 1642 masterpiece. 

Prefer to see Rembrandt in person? Visit our second floor galleries to view his oil on panel work, Portrait of an Old Man.

Or maybe you're in the mood for more high-res classics? Check out this 10 gigapixel scan of Johannes Vermeer's Girl with the Pearl Earring.
