We continue to monitor the evolving coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and prioritize the safety of our visitors, staff, students and volunteers. In the interests of reducing the number of people on campus and slowing the opportunity for transmission, the museum is now closed to the public until further notice.

Over the next few weeks we will be assessing the situation and reviewing options for when we will be able to re-open to the public. Thank you for your patience. Full announcement here: https://hmnh.harvard.edu/harvard-museums-closing-public

On view from March 14th–June 21st
