 |  | We're heading into the final stretch of the semester! As the homework piles up and your papers reach even longer page lengths, we hope you'll take some time to unwind in our galleries or explore new ideas in our virtual programs.
As the semester inches closer to its end, the weather outside is getting decidedly colder. So we feel it's the perfect time to introduce HAM's version of the Pforzheimer House polar bear. While this chilly bear is not currently in the galleries, we invite you to examine works that explore rising sea levels and climate change - some of the greatest threats to polar bears - on view in our third floor galleries. For something more lighthearted, fans of all bears can check out this jade figurine in the first floor galleries. |
