SUMMARY:Mediterranean Marketplaces: Connecting the Ancient World exhibition opens to the public
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, November 26\, the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture—the Harvard Museum of Natural History\, the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology\, the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East\, and the Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments—reopen to the public. See https://bit.ly/HMSCExhibitions for hours and reservations. \nMuch like today\, ancient “consumers” were connected to distant markets. Both basic and precious goods from faraway lands “shipped” to royal palaces\, elite estates—sometimes even rural households—and technological advances in craftsmanship and commerce transcended boundaries of language\, religion\, or culture to spread rapidly. Mediterranean Marketplaces explores how the movement of goods\, peoples\, and ideas around the ancient Mediterranean transformed the lives and livelihoods of people at all levels of society\, driving innovations that had lasting impacts—even on the modern world.

SUMMARY:Reconstructing Queen Amanishakheto’s Musical Instruments (Free Virtual Lecture)
DESCRIPTION:Susanne Gänsicke\, Senior Conservator and ​​Head of Antiquities Conservation\, J. Paul Getty Museum\, Los Angeles \nDouble reed pipes\, known as auloi\, were popular musical instruments in the ancient Mediterranean. In 1921\, archaeologists exploring the necropolis of Meroë (northern Sudan)—as part of the Harvard University-Boston Museum of Fine Arts Expedition—found a large collection of auloi in the pyramid of Nubian Queen Amanishakheto. Susanne Gänsicke will discuss the discovery’s importance and what it reveals about the connections between Nubia and the Mediterranean world as well as the significance of far-reaching musical traditions. She will also share recent efforts to conserve and reconstruct these ancient musical instruments. \nPresented by the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Useful Objects: Nineteenth-Century Museums and American Culture (Free Virtual Event)
DESCRIPTION:Reed Gochberg\, Assistant Director of Studies; Lecturer on History and Literature\, Harvard University\nIn conversation with:\nBrenda Tindal\, Executive Director\, Harvard Museums of Science & Culture \nWhat can the history of museums tell us about their role in American culture today? What kinds of objects were considered worth collecting\, and who decided their value? Join Reed Gochberg\, author of Useful Objects: Museums\, Science\, and Literature in Nineteenth-Century America (Oxford University Press\, September 2021) to learn about the early history of American museums\, including Harvard’s Museum of Comparative Zoology. In conversation with HMSC Executive Director Brenda Tindal\, she will examine how writers and visitors reflected on a wide range of nineteenth-century collections—and how their ideas continue to inform ongoing debates about the challenges and possibilities museums face today.

SUMMARY:How Beer Made Kings in Early Egypt (Free Virtual Lecture)
DESCRIPTION:Matthew Douglas Adams\, Director\, Abydos Archaeology; Senior Research Scholar\, Institute of Fine Arts\, New York University \nThe remains of a 5000-year-old brewery found in the ancient Egyptian city of Abydos are providing insights into the relationship between large-scale beer production and the development of kingship in Egypt. Archaeological evidence indicates that the Abydos brewery produced beer on a truly industrial scale—something unparalleled in early Egypt. Matthew Adams will share findings from recent excavations at the brewery and will consider it in context as part of a broad pattern of royal activity at the site that served to define the very nature of kingship at the beginning of Egypt’s history. \nPresented by the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture \nYou can register for this event by clicking the button below.

SUMMARY:Did We Evolve to Exercise? (Free Virtual Lecture)
DESCRIPTION:Daniel Lieberman\, Edwin M. Lerner II Professor of Biological Sciences\, Professor of Human Evolutionary Biology\, Harvard University \nExercise is a paradox: everyone knows it is healthy\, but most of us struggle to do it. Further\, as technology and machines increasingly replace human labor\, fewer people are getting enough exercise. In this talk\, Daniel Lieberman will explain how an evolutionary and anthropological perspective on exercise can help. How much exercise did we evolve to do? Is exercise really a magic bullet? Why\, how\, and to what extent does exercise slow aging and promote health? Is there a best way to exercise? And\, most importantly\, how can we help each other exercise without nagging or coercing? \nEvolution Matters Lecture Series\nSeries supported by a generous gift from Drs. Herman and Joan Suit\nPresented by the Harvard Museum of Natural History\, the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology\, and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture \nYou can register for this event by clicking the button below.
