Join Harvard Art Museums to learn more about our latest special exhibition, Dare to Know: Prints and Drawings in the Age of Enlightenment.
Join Harvard Art Museums for a series of brief presentations and a discussion about our latest special exhibition, Dare to Know: Prints and Drawings in the Age of Enlightenment, with curators Elizabeth M. Rudy and Kristel Smentek, along with several contributors to the exhibition catalogue. Dare to Know will be on view at the Harvard Art Museums from September 16, 2022 through January 15, 2023.
Following the discussion, guests are invited to visit the exhibition on Level 3, for informal remarks by graduate student contributors to the catalogue from Harvard’s Department of History of Art and Architecture and MIT’s Department of Architecture.
Featuring approximately 150 works on paper and other related objects, Dare to Know explores how the graphic arts inspired, shaped, and gave immediacy to new ideas in the Enlightenment era by encouraging individuals to follow their own reason when seeking to know more.
Free admission, but seating is limited and reservations are required. Reservations may be arranged by clicking on the event on this form beginning Monday, September 5, after 10am.
