SUMMARY:Tour—Animal-Shaped Vessels from the Ancient World: Feasting with Gods\, Heroes\, and Kings
DESCRIPTION:As we celebrate International Archaeology Day\, we hope you’ll join us for an in-depth look at our special exhibition Animal-Shaped Vessels from the Ancient World: Feasting with Gods\, Heroes\, and Kings\, on view from September 7\, 2018 through January 6\, 2019. Tours will be given by curators\, graduate students\, and other experts. \nAnimal-Shaped Vessels from the Ancient World brings together nearly 60 elaborate vessels of animal shape from collections in the United States and Europe. While the songs\, speeches\, and prayers that enlivened ancient feasts are now largely lost to us\, these vessels have survived\, offering a glimpse into the rich symbolism and communal practices that found expression at these gatherings. Taking animal-shaped vessels as performative props in the multifaceted world of feasting\, the exhibition not only introduces the social and ceremonial functions of these ritual occasions\, but also highlights the essential and universal role played by food and drink—and by the highly imaginative containers used to consume them. \nExhibition tours will be offered on select Wednesdays at 3:30pm and select Saturdays at 10:30am\, during free admission hours supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities.  \nThis tour is limited to 15 people and tickets are required. Ten minutes before the tour\, tickets will become available at the admissions desk. \nPlease meet in the Calderwood Courtyard\, in front of the digital screens between the shop and the admissions desk. Museums staff will be on hand to collect tickets. \nCrucial support for the Animal-Shaped Vessels exhibition has been made possible in part by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the Human Endeavor. In addition\, the Harvard Art Museums are deeply grateful to the anonymous donor of a gift in memory of Melvin R. Seiden and to Malcolm H. Wiener (Harvard A.B. ’57\, J.D. ’63) and Michael and Helen Lehmann for enabling us to mount this exhibition and to pursue the related research. This work was also made possible in part by the David M. Robinson Fund; the Andrew W. Mellon Publication Funds\, including the Henry P. McIlhenny Fund; and the M. Victor Leventritt Fund\, which brings outstanding scholars of the history and theory of art to the Harvard and Greater Boston communities through the generosity of the wife\, children\, and friends of the late M. Victor Leventritt\, Harvard Class of 1935.

SUMMARY:Gallery Talk: Digging up Ancient Samaria-Sebaste
DESCRIPTION:Explore a display about early 20th-century excavations of the ancient city of Samaria-Sebaste\, with curatorial fellow Caitlin Clerkin.

SUMMARY:Research and Excavations at Sardis
DESCRIPTION:In this year’s Sardis Biennial lecture\, Professor Nicholas D. Cahill of the University of Wisconsin-Madison will discuss recent excavations at Sardis\, one of the great ancient cities of western Türkiye from the Bronze Age to the Middle Ages. The Archaeological Exploration of Sardis has been sponsored by Harvard University and Cornell University since 1958 and is authorized by the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Recent accomplishments at the site include the discovery of some of the world’s earliest silver coins in a historical context\, the restoration of antiquity’s largest synagogue\, and the unearthing of Roman houses destroyed by a devastating earthquake. \nSpeaker:\nNicholas D.

SUMMARY:A World Within Reach: Greek and Roman Art from the Loeb Collection
DESCRIPTION:A World Within Reach invites visitors to explore the experiences and imaginations of people who lived in the Mediterranean basin some 2\,000 to 2\,500 years ago. Clay and bronze depictions of ordinary people (with a few gods and heroes as well)\, small-scale animal sculptures\, and stunning jewelry are all arranged under three themes—power\, desire\, and wonder—reflecting human concerns then and now. \nThe more than 60 ancient Greek and Roman objects at the core of this exhibition are drawn from the collection of James Loeb (1867–1933)\, who graduated from Harvard College in 1888. Convinced that ancient literature could enrich contemporary lives\, he established the Loeb Classical Library. This series\, now published by Harvard University Press\, makes ancient Greek and Roman texts widely accessible by placing them side by side with their English translations. The objects from the Loeb Collection have come to Cambridge with the generous collaboration of Munich’s Staatliche Antikensammlungen und Glyptothek\, where they reside today. \nAs a collector\, Loeb was particularly attracted by small terracotta figurines. He felt that encounters with these humble objects brought ancient Greek and Roman lives within reach\, transmitted humanity and values across the ages\, and had the potential to expand modern perspectives. Today\, we ask different questions about antiquity than Loeb did a century ago. These fresh views help us query the past in new ways and reconsider our own presence in the world. \nThe final component of the exhibition reflects how members of the local community see ancient Mediterranean objects today. Teens in Cambridge Community Television’s 2022–23 School Year Production Program made short videos catalyzed by encounters with ancient Greek and Roman objects in the Harvard Art Museums collections. These films can be viewed on a monitor in the exhibition. \nJoin the dialogue and allow James Loeb’s objects to help you see worlds\, ancient and modern\, with fresh eyes. \nCurated by Amy Brauer\, Curator of the Collection; Caitlin Clerkin\, 2021–23 Frederick Randolph Grace Curatorial Fellow in Ancient Art; and Frances Gallart Marqués\, 2018–20 Frederick Randolph Grace Curatorial Fellow in Ancient Art\, all in the Division of Asian and Mediterranean Art at the Harvard Art Museums. \nSupport for this exhibition is provided by the Kelekian Fund.
