We hope you are all well and safe! As spring slowly starts to show its lovely face in Cambridge, we are grateful for the beautiful surroundings when we get the chance to be outside or look out our windows. We hope you are able to find the beauty around you wherever you may be in the world. 

For when you can't get outside, we hope this week's offerings will help you relax, learn, and engage with the museums virtually. And for those looking ahead to summer, check out the remote summer internship opportunities at museums nationwide.

Also, be sure to like the Ho Family Student Guide Program on Facebook to stay connected, watch their recorded Guide Chats, and see what they’ve been up to at home.

Did you know the Harvard Art Museums assigns a color for each day of the year? We use this Spectrum Explorer to determine the color of the day all year round. That's why the color scheme of every newsletter is different - it's the color assigned to the day the newsletter is mailed out! What's the color assigned to your birthday?

Student Guide Spotlight

Meet your Ho Family Student Guides!

Franklin Hang, ’21
Pforzheimer House
  
Hailing from San Diego, California, Franklin brings quotidian sunshine and flare to his artistic activities at the Harvard Art Museums. He is interested in the amalgamation of technology, religion, and government and how these features contribute to the current human experience. You can usually hit Franklin up for coffee and learn more about his obsession with the US-China relationship and the moral issues that surround CRISPR-cas9.


Vlad Batagui, ‘21
Dunster House
"Art in Exile"
Vlad was born and raised in Romania and visited the States for the first time when he came to college. As a Chemistry concentrator, he is very passionate about the materiality of art objects and the processes that go into art making. Some of his favorite spots in the HAM are the Art Study Center, the M-lab and Jenny's Cafe.
