Let’s Draw: HMSC Sketching Weekend

In-Person Special Event

Time: 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm

The Harvard Museums of Science & Culture provide inspiration for all levels of artists and curious visitors. Elevate your own creative process by trying your hand at sketching this weekend.

Meet HMSC Volunteer Sketching Facilitators in the galleries and learn what motivates them to draw in the museums. Then take time to explore, slow down, and sketch an object in the galleries of the Harvard Museum of Natural History, Peabody Museum, and Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East (Sunday only) with your own sketchbook or drawing materials from the museum. Share your favorite museum-inspired drawing for everyone to admire.

Free with regular museum admission. Free event parking starting at noon at the 52 Oxford Street Garage.
