Welcome to the Winter Museum Events! 

We are happy to present you a bunch of new tours to some of the numerous exciting places in the Boston area.

Widener Memorial Library – Theory and practice

Afraid of Harvard’s biggest library? During this tour, we will explore the labyrinth of Widener from the bottom to the top, from the “catacombs” to the central rotunda up to its mysterious heart, the Harry Elkins Widener Memorial Room. If you would like to know how you can get your books (and why this takes such a long time) or what Widener has to do with the “Titanic”, this is your chance.

Meeting point: Widener Library, main steps towards the Yard, 1 pm. Harvard I.D. requested. For sign up, questions or details email Eva (helfenst@fas.harvard.edu).

April Events 

Saturday, April 14: 

Donatello to Giambologna: Italian Renaissance Sculpture at the MFA, Boston This special exhibit features a fascinating collection that has never been shown as a whole and that remains virtually unknown to the general public and to scholars alike. In fact, several of the masterpieces on display were only recently rediscovered after being long hidden away in storage. Discover the world of Italian Renaissance sculpture by taking a close look at the works of art and learning about their history and original function. We will meet at 12:40 pm in front of Dudley House and spend the afternoon in the MFA. 
Please bring your Harvard I.D. for free entry to the exhibition! This is the event planned for March 17 and postponed because of the blizzard. 
Please sign up for this tour (send an email to helfenst@fas.harvard.edu)
