In the video above, curator Laura Muir introduces our new special exhibition, The Bauhaus and Harvard, on view February 8–July 28, 2019. Mounted in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Bauhaus in Germany, the show explores the school’s pioneering approach to art education, the ways its workshops sought to revolutionize the experience of everyday life, and the widespread influence of Bauhaus instruction in America.
Our galleries are ever-changing, with new installations occurring each month throughout the museums. This fall, we’re welcoming rarely seen works of art into our galleries and celebrating diverse materials and styles.
Two staff members from our Division of Academic and Public Programs discuss how the museums foster museum literacy and a sense of welcome among student visitors.
Upon director Martha Tedeschi’s departure after eight years of leadership, gifts of art were made in her honor.
