Harvard Museum of Natural History

Experience the world-famous Glass Flowers. 

Enjoy the new rubies installation in the Earth and Planetary Sciences Gallery. This gemstone is known for its extraordinary beauty and offers a rich source of scientific insight. 

Come face-to-face with the ocean’s most famous, misunderstood megafauna in Swimming with Sharks: A Deep Dive into Shark Biology and Behavior.

Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology

Explore From Iran: A Visual Testimony, a new exhibition by Iranian photographer and filmmaker Azadeh Akhlaghi—opening May 15.

Akhlaghi’s project stages and photographs pivotal moments from Iran’s tumultuous twentieth-century history. Drawing on meticulous archival research and her background in cinema, she casts professional and nonprofessional actors and photographs each scene from multiple angles to reimagine historical events as complex tableaux, set in real locations in Iran.

Harvard Commencement is on May 28. Public transit is recommended.


ArtsThursdays is a university-wide initiative supported by Harvard University Committee on the Arts (HUCA)
