Summer Solstice Celebration 2022: Night at the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture

11 Divinity Avenue, Cambridge, MA

After a long hiatus, the annual Summer Solstice Celebration at the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture is back—in-person! Join us on the longest day of the year from 5:00–9:00 PM to explore—free of charge—the galleries and new exhibitions at the Harvard Museum of Natural History, the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology, the Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments, and the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East. Then step outdoors to create a community mural, enjoy uplifting musical and circus performances, make a flower crown, or enjoy a snack at a food truck. Don’t miss this wildly popular event for all ages.

See the new exhibitions, including Muchos Méxicos, Mediterranean Marketplaces, the immersive In Search of Thoreau’s Flowers, and the upcoming mini-exhibit Rice: A Story of Africa and the Americas.

Free parking will be provided at the 52 Oxford Street Garage.

Sponsored by Harvard Museums of Science & Culture in collaboration with the Harvard Graduate Commons, the Office for the Arts at Harvard, Harvard Summer School, and the Harvard Office for Sustainability. Presented with the generous support of the FAS Community Renewal Fund.
