June

We joyfully congratulate Harvard’s Class of 2020, as well as graduates everywhere who have persevered, even in the face of a global crisis. We’re also happy to announce that due to popular demand, we are extending the Ho Family Student Guide Tours through the month of June. These 30-minute online tours will run live on Tuesdays at 8pm and Saturdays at 11am.

Last week, we launched our virtual Painting Edo exhibition on Google Arts & Culture; this four-part immersive journey features an incredible array of early modern Japanese art.

Thank you for continuing to engage with us during this period and for your valuable feedback and inspiration—we’ve particularly enjoyed chatting with you through our live events. Remember to check our frequently updated Harvard Art Museums from Home page, where you’ll find new articles, Art Talks, and details on upcoming live events.
