Continuing my theme of museums this year.
While exploring Harvard campus Whitley and I discovered the Harvard Art Museum. Wow what a great museum. It was rainy out so a lot of other people found refuge in the art museum too.
Here are the highlights
Ancient Greece and Roman
Since I am starting my Art certificate program in October (Ancient to Renaissance) we went to the Greek and Roman section.
 |  |  |
|---|---|---|
| Head of a Male Votary First half of 6th century, Greece | Water Jar: Dionysos and Entourage, 400 BCE, Greek | Youthful Hero or God, 1st-2nd century CE, Roman |
Sarcophagus Sections with Men Fighting Amazons
Roman, late 2nd to early 3rd century CE
Harvard Art Museum, Cambridge, Massachusetts
Early Christian
The next unit in my class is early Christian so that was nice to see some pieces, glass, wood, and oil.
 |  |  |
|---|---|---|
| Scene from the Life of Thomas Becket, 1190-1205 | Female Figure, early 12th century | Adoration of the Magi, 1520 |
A gorgeous six panel folding screen called Crows and Egrets, Japan 1900-1903.
It was amazing to see paintings by artist I know well that I had never seen before. Could you name the artists? 1-7

John Singer Sargent
This trip had a lot of John Singer Sargent, at the Isabella Stewart Gardener, The Boston Public Library and here at the Harvard Art Museum
Sargent was born, died and lived abroad most of his life. His family was from Massachusetts so it makes sense he would visit and work in Boston!

This museum on Harvard's campus was a delightful surprise and I would recommend it to those visiting Harvard.

Looks like an impressively diverse collection; I suppose university collections with huge endowments often are. Lovely looking space, too... so light even on a rainy day. Thanks for the share!
Yes, I did enjoy the light in the museum, it was nice in the rooms too. Whitley and I sat and talked and watched the rain fall.
Hehhehhe I wish I could name them but sadly I cannot but they are all wonderful dear friend😊
Thanks for wanting to interact.
Ohhhh nice, thanks for mentioning them
