Join us for a free arts + science night at the Harvard Museum of Natural History and the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology! We are partnering with the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture (HMSC) to explore our senses—from understanding our ability to perceive and process visual, smell, touch, sound, and taste stimuli to exploring how our brain “knows” when we feel hungry, thirsty, or excited.
Featuring presenters from the labs of Aleena Garner, Mark Andermann, Stephen Liberles, Lauren Orefice, Erin Hecht, Rachelle Gaudet, David Corey, Jeffrey Holt, Carlos Ponce, Maria Lehtinen, Takao Hensch, Venki Murthy, and Michela Fagiolini.
Come with a date, come with friends, or make new friends while learning about the brain and strolling through the galleries. Participate in activities, enter raffles to win museum gifts and memberships.
Handcrafted cocktails and mocktails by CraftHouse Bartending will be available for purchase. Valid government ID is required to consume alcoholic beverages.
Free and open to the public. Free event parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage.
Let us know you are coming! RSVPs are encouraged, but walk-in visitors are always welcome. RSVP Here.
Presented by the Harvard Museum of Natural History, the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology, the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture, in collaboration with the Harvard Brain Science Initiative, and the Cambridge Science Festival.
