Translating Encounters: Travel and Transformation in the Early Seventeenth Century
Ongoing Exhibitions
A free reception will be held on Thurs. March 25, from 5-7 p.m.
Wonder, confusion, and curiosity: just a few of the responses by Africans, Native Americans, and Europeans in the age of exploration, as each struggled to comprehend the other.
In the 16th and 17th centuries, new navigational technologies spurred global travel. While European depictions of early encounters are familiar to us today, other peoples also left material records of their own experience. Inspired by collections of the Peabody Museum, Houghton Library, and the Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments, this exhibit broadly explores global mobility, encounter, and exchange in colonial encounters among peoples of Europe, Africa, and the Americas.

The images in their pages testify to the central place of the book in many, if not all, aspects of medieval life. Images of books in books not only document the various settings in which manuscripts were used or even how they were employed, they also testify to a self-conscious culture of the word in which books served as symbols of authority, access, and authenticity. This exhibition is mounted in conjunction with the General Education Program’s course Aesthetic and Interpretive Understanding 16, “Openings: The Illuminated Manuscript,” taught by Professor Jeffrey Hamburger of Harvard’s History of Art and Architecture Department.

Ongoing Exhibitions
From the advent of photography in the 19th century and into the 20th century, medical students, often in secrecy, took photographs of themselves with the cadavers that they dissected. The photographs were made in a variety of forms, from proud class portraits to staged dark-humor scenes, from personal documentation to images reproduced on postcards sent in the mail. Poignant, strange, disturbing, and humorous, they are all compelling.
Based on the revealing book Based on the revealing book "Dissection: Photographs of a Rite of Passage in America, 1880-1930" by John Harley Warner and Jim Edmondson, the Center for the History of Medicine presents images of late 19th and early 20th century medical students posing around anatomical dissection tables. The highly stylized arrangements of students, dissection tables, cadavers, instruments and body parts suggest that these images were representations of a widely spread medical rite-of-passage.

Ongoing Exhibitions
The manuscripts in this small exhibition, which range in date from the early 12th to the late 15th century, all contain images of books in the process of being made, presented, exchanged, written or read. The images in their pages testify to the central place of the book in many, if not all, aspects of medieval life. Images of books in books not only document the various settings in which manuscripts were used or even how they were employed, they also testify to a self-conscious culture of the word in which books served as symbols of authority, access, and authenticity. This exhibition is mounted in conjunction with the General Education Program’s course Aesthetic and Interpretive Understanding 16, “Openings: The Illuminated Manuscript,” taught by Professor Jeffrey Hamburger of Harvard’s History of Art and Architecture Department.
