Art Study Center Seminar: Rethinking Ancient Art at the Harvard Art Museums

How do curators present ancient art at the Harvard Art Museums—and how should they do it in the future? Join assistant research curator Caitlin Clerkin for a short gallery tour and a conversational seminar in the Art Study Center. Guests will look at current displays of ancient art before discussing a few objects that they are considering exhibiting in the future. Questions and feedback during this session will play a vital role in shaping the future of the museums’ ancient art galleries.

This tour will be led by Caitlin Clerkin, a Frederick Randolph Grace Assistant Research Curator of Ancient Art, Division of Asian and Mediterranean Art. Free admission, but registration is required.
