The Harvard Art Museums are not alone in renewing their permanent exhibition galleries.
This evening brings together representatives of three university museums to talk about
recent or planned reinstallations of galleries dedicated to the ancient and Byzantine
worlds. Their presentations will provide a glimpse of the factors that influence how
museums reinvent themselves and will highlight different ways of making objects from the
past speak to the present. A faculty response and a panel discussion will follow.
Free admission. Reception to follow lecture; complimentary parking for lecture at the
Broadway Garage, 7 Felton Street.
