Harvard Art Museums at Night

Join us for an evening of art, fun, food, and more! This event is free and open to everyone. We’re celebrating the launch of our new publication <a href="https://shop.harvardartmuseums.org/products/harvard-art-museums-in-your-hands">Harvard Art Museums: In Your Hands</a> as well as the return of Vincent van Gogh’s <a href="https://hvrd.art/o/299843">Self-Portrait Dedicated to Paul Gauguin</a>, which had been on loan to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Gather with friends and mingle inside our Italian-inspired courtyard while taking in the smooth sounds from DJ C-Zone. Browse the museum shop and chat over a snack or drink for purchase from local vendors, such as Idle Hands Craft Ales and Cocobelly Bites. Head down to the Lower Level to make art in the Materials Lab. Take a Spotlight Tour in the galleries and afterward wander the rest of the collections—there are over 50 galleries to explore! Don’t miss the acclaimed exhibition <a href="https://harvardartmuseums.org/exhibitions/6407/edvard-munch-technically-speaking">Edvard Munch: Technically Speaking</a>, which closes July 27, before the next At Night! There will be activities throughout the evening and a chance to win lots of prizes. Harvard Art Museums at Night takes place the last Thursday of every month (holidays permitting), from 5 to 9pm. Each night features a new mix of local talent and community partners to make this a festive occasion for all. When arriving, enter via Quincy Street. In inclement weather, please use the Prescott entrance as it provides extra shelter. <a href="https://secure.touchnet.net/C20832_ustores/web/store_cat.jsp?STOREID=99&amp;CATID=281&amp;SINGLESTORE=true">Advance registration</a> is encouraged, but walk-in visitors are always welcome. Please note that space may be limited due to capacity. Registration opens two weeks before the event.
