On this tour, Jade Xiao ’27 will explore how art captures the fleeting nature of time. The tour stops are Vanitas (c. 1525), a boxwood sculpture by an artist from the School of Conrad Meit; the painting The Vanity of the Artist’s Dream (1830) by Charles Bird King; and Blossoming Plum with Moon and Snow (late 18th–early 19th century), a pair of hanging scrolls by Goshun 呉春 (Matsumura Gekkei 松村月渓).
Spotlight Tours offer a chance to explore the collections of the Harvard Art Museums through the eyes of a Harvard student. Free and open to the public, these tours start outside the museum shop on Saturdays and Sundays at 11am and 2pm. Drop in and join the conversation! And find out what the Student Guides are up to anytime on Instagram @harvardarthappens.
Please check in with museum staff at the Visitor Services desk in the Calderwood Courtyard to request to join the tour. Space is limited, and tours are available on a first-come, first-served basis; no registration is required.
