Spotlight Tour: Contained, with Priya Allen ’27

This event does not require registration; see further details below. On this tour, Priya Allen ’27 will explore the design and politics of historical drinking vessels and containers. The stops on the tour are a Persian jug from the 9th–10th century; a British abolition jug (c. 1810–20); and a samovar designed by Marianne Brandt in the Bauhaus metal workshop in Germany in 1925. Spotlight Tours offer a chance to explore the collections of the Harvard Art Museums through the eyes of a Harvard student. Free and open to the public, these tours start outside the museum shop on Saturdays and Sundays at 11am and 2pm. Drop in and join the conversation! And find out what the Student Guides are up to anytime on Instagram @harvardarthappens. This program is supported by the Ho Family Student Guide Fund. The Ho Family Student Guide Program at the Harvard Art Museums prepares students to develop original, research-based tours of the collections. Through their training, Student Guides gain knowledge of the collections and develop skills in critical thinking, visual analysis, public speaking, and leadership.
