The Harvard Museums of Science & Culture (HMSC) offer unique, historic, and captivating venues for a variety of occasions. Steps away from Harvard Yard, our 22 galleries and special exhibit spaces can accommodate everything from intimate dinner parties and cocktail receptions to large-scale corporate events and weddings. Unlike many museum event venues, we are able to offer your guests full access to all museum galleries. Events are scheduled between 6:00 pm and 11:30 pm, providing your guests with a private viewing of our world-renowned collections. We encourage you to meet with our professional event coordinator who will give you a full tour of the galleries and work hand-in-hand with you to make your event a memorable success. We currently offer event rentals in the Harvard Museum of Natural History and the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology. We look forward to working with you.
