 |  | This month, you can explore the current state of democracy through a thought-provoking new work by renowned artist Krzysztof Wodiczko, on view starting October 14.
This is just one of the exciting changes you’ll see when you visit the reopened Harvard Art Museums. Remember: Sundays are free for everyone; reservations and proof of vaccination are required for admission; and visitors must wear a mask while inside the museums.
We look forward to seeing you! |
