This event requires registration; see further details below.

In conjunction with our special exhibition Objects of Addiction: Opium, Empire, and the Chinese Art Trade, and with an abundance of care for our community, the Harvard Art Museums are hosting a one-hour on-site Narcan training, facilitated by the Cambridge Public Health Department and Somerville Health and Human Services. Their staff will also distribute the medicine for attendees to take home.

Naloxone (also known as Narcan) is a nasal spray that can rapidly reverse an opioid overdose by blocking opioids from attaching to receptors in the brain.

Free admission, but space is limited and registration is required. You can register by clicking on the event on this form, beginning Saturday, October 7, after 10am.

The Harvard Art Museums are now offering free admission every day, Tuesday through Sunday. Please see the museum visit page to learn about our general policies for visiting the museums.

This program is made possible through the generous support and direction of the Cambridge Public Health Department and Somerville Health and Human Services.

The Harvard Art Museums are committed to accessibility for all visitors. For anyone requiring accessibility accommodations for our programs, please contact us at am_register@harvard.edu at least 48 hours in advance.
