Event Description:

On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong stepped down from the Apollo 11 lunar
lander and impressed the Moon's dusty surface with the first human
bootprint. This singular moment — when humanity set foot on a world
outside Planet Earth — inspired a vibrant new age of scientific and
technological research that has vastly improved the understanding of
our planet, solar system, and wider universe. On July 20, 2019, the
Harvard Museum of Natural History will mark the 50th anniversary of
the first manned mission to the Moon with the unveiling of Cosmic
Origins. Visitors to this new small exhibit — located within our Earth
& Planetary Sciences exhibition — will investigate the origins of and
processes shaping planetary bodies and stars by using touchable
specimens, colorful visuals, and interactive media. Through Nov. 27,
2019, the exhibit will also feature an original lunar specimen, on
loan from NASA, collected during Apollo 12. Don't miss this rare
opportunity to examine a real Moon rock, and to engage with this
dynamic new exhibit. Cosmic Origins opens to the public on July 20,
2019 at the Harvard Museum of Natural History. The exhibition is
supported by a generous gift in memory of John P. Huchra.

Pharos of Chaos

Event Date as Display String: Sunday, November 24, 2019, 7:00pm - 9:00pm Location: Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, 24 Quincy St., Cambridge URL: https://harvardfilmarchive.org/calendar/pharos-of-chaos-2019-11 Event Description: Wolf-Eckart Bühler was at work on a different film about the adventurous, seafaring Sterling Hayden (Der Havarist/The Shipwrecker) when he finally tracked down the man in person to make this frank, fascinating document. Bühler finds the semi-retired actor, war hero, occasional writer and itinerant sailor whiling away his days — frequently drunk or stoned — living on a barge in France. Bearing more than a passing resemblance to his character in Altman's "The Long Goodbye," the wild and weathered old man of the sea and out of time enjoys quoting his favorite literature and telling anecdotes until finally opening up about his alcoholism, his loneliness, his "creative impotency," and his deepest ...

HILR Intersession: Mollie Crawford-Volk: Velazquez' "Las Meninas" and its Modern Progeny

Event Date as Display String: Tuesday, January 21, 2020, 10:00am - 12:00pm Location: HILR, 34 Concord Avenue, Cambridge 02138 URL: http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/harvard-events/events-calendar/?trumbaEmbed=view%3Devent%26eventid%3D141501611 Event Description: Diego Velazquez' magisterial late work, "Las Meninas," created in 1656 near the end of his life, is universally recognized now as one of the greatest paintings in the history of western culture. Its scale, technical virtuosity, complex subject, and inclusion of the only uncontested self-portrait of the Spanish artist we have contributed decisively to its special stature. But this stature has been enormously enhanced by the number and quality of responses to the painting made by important later artists, a phenomenon that continues up to the present. Very few, if any, paintings in western art have inspired such an illustrious progeny. UID: http://uid.trumba.com/event/141501611 ...
