SUMMARY:Opening Conversation for Celtic Art Across the Ages
DESCRIPTION:Lecture 6:00pm – 7:30pm\n\n\nIn-Person\nHarvard Art Museums\, Menschel Hall\, Lower Level\n32 Quincy Street\, Cambridge\, MA \, Enter at Broadway for evening programs\n\n\nFree admission\, but seating is limited and registration is encouraged. Register here. \nWe invite you to the opening conversation for the special exhibition Celtic Art Across the Ages\, on view from March 6 through August 2\, 2026. Susanne Ebbinghaus\, Laure Marest\, Penny Coombe\, and Catherine McKenna will take a close look at elaborate Celtic bronze objects and gold coins\, examine religious imagery from Roman Gaul\, and highlight moments of Celtic revival in modern times. \nCeltic Art Across the Ages offers an unprecedented opportunity to explore masterful metalwork\, including exquisitely decorated weaponry\, jewelry\, and horse and chariot trappings of the first millennium BCE Iron Age and early medieval times\, all brought to light through archaeological discoveries of the last 200 years. See how imagery transformed under Roman rule\, and trace the revival of Celtic art and identities in the modern era. From shape-shifting ancient ornaments to the more well-known Celtic iconography of medieval Ireland and Scotland\, the objects in this exhibition reveal rich and complex artistic traditions that defy stereotypes of what constitutes “Celtic art.” \nFollowing the program\, guests are invited to visit the exhibition on Level 3. \nSpeaker:\nSusanne Ebbinghaus\, George M.A. Hanfmann Curator of Ancient Art and head of the Division of Asian and Mediterranean Art\, Harvard Art Museums\nLaure Marest\, Damarete Associate Curator of Ancient Coins\, Harvard Art Museums\nPenny Coombe\, Kelekian Curatorial Fellow in Ancient Art\, Harvard Art Museums\nCatherine McKenna\, Margaret Brooks Robinson Research Professor of Celtic Languages and Literatures\, Harvard University \nThe lecture will take place in Menschel Hall\, Lower Level.
