Harvard Art Museums at Night

Join us for an evening of art, fun, food, and more! This event is free and open to everyone. This month’s installment is extra special, because we’ll be celebrating the opening of Made in Germany? Art and Identity in a Global Nation.

Gather with friends and mingle inside our Italian-inspired courtyard while taking in the smooth sounds from DJ C-Zone. Browse the museum shop, where the exhibition catalog is for sale, and chat over a snack or drink for purchase from local vendors. The featured vendors are craft brewery favorite Night Shift Brewing, along with Petsi Pies and Mariposa Bakery. Catch short Spotlight Tours celebrating Made in Germany? Art and Identity in a Global Nation featuring exhibition curators and two of the exhibition artists, Ngozi Schommers and Marc Brandenburg. Find out how you can win museum merch! Make art in the Materials Lab. Don’t miss the unique temporary tattoo activation by artist Marc Brandenburg, featuring designs inspired by his works in the exhibition.
