Last week, groundhog and meteorological wonder Punxsutawney Phil forecasted six more weeks of winter. Despite this chilly announcement, things are heating up here at the Harvard Art Museums! Join one of our upcoming programs to delve into the collections, hear fresh perspectives, and meet new people.

Looking for more ways to engage? In recognition of Black History Month, we invite you to explore African American History in the Collections, a digital selection of works reflecting the Black experience in the United States. Showcasing an array of mediums and themes and spanning from the turn of the 19th century to present day, the collection includes artists such as Jacob Lawrence, whose work is also shown above.
