Open to the Public

Join us for a free, fun night at the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture! Come with a date, come with friends, or make new friends while strolling through the galleries. Visit the exhibition Sea Monsters: Wonders of Nature and Imagination and explore the allure of serpents, krakens, and other mysterious creatures of the deep sea. Let your imagination run wild and create a felt sea “monster” with Alex Makes Art. Suggested ages 10 and up. Guided by visual artist Kat Owens, participate in the creation of a community art piece, and reflect on the impact of plastics on marine animals. Meet scientists from Harvard’s Bellono Lab to learn about the behavior and unique characteristics of octopuses. Learn about unique, unusual—and even spooky—marine specimens in the Museum of Comparative Zoology. Purchase drinks at the cash bar (valid government ID required to consume alcoholic beverages). Embark on a scavenger hunt to find sea monsters in the museum! Free and open to the public.
