32 Quincy Street, Cambridge, MA

Join us for an evening of art, fun, food, and more! This event is free and open to everyone.

We’re celebrating Halloween by highlighting Dragon’s Blood from the museums’ famed Forbes Pigment Collection! Come dressed in your best macabre red and enjoy fright-themed activities for a chance to win a prize, mingle in the Calderwood Courtyard, and kick back with friends to the (eerily) smooth sounds of DJ C-Zone. The featured local vendors are Castle Island Brewing Company and Suya Joint.

Explore our special exhibitions Funerary Portraits from Roman Egypt: Facing Forward and Dare to Know: Prints and Drawings in the Age of Enlightenment.

After you’ve browsed the galleries, circle back to see what’s happening in the courtyard.

Each night will feature a new mix of local talent and community partners to make this a festive occasion for all.

When arriving, enter via Quincy Street. Advance reservations are encouraged, but walk-in visitors are always welcome. Please note that space may be limited due to capacity. Reservations are available two weeks before the event.
