The Philosophy Chamber: Art and Science in Harvard’s Teaching Cabinet, 1766–1820
Editorial Design
I created graphics for the interactive Digital Tools section of The Harvard Art Museums website. I also worked on the editorial design of the book, The Philosophy Chamber: Art and Science in Harvard’s Teaching Cabinet, 1766–1820. This is a special exhibition, and is described as: "between 1766 and 1820, Harvard College assembled an extraordinary collection of paintings, portraits, and prints; mineral, plant, and animal specimens; scientific instruments; Native American artifacts; and relics from the ancient world. The Philosophy Chamber: Art and Science in Harvard’s Teaching Cabinet, 1766–1820 reunites many of these original objects, showcasing a range of works that have been hidden away for nearly two centuries." -HarvardArtMuseums.org
Organized by the Harvard Art Museums. Curated by Ethan W. Lasser, the Theodore E. Stebbins Jr. Curator of American Art and Head of the Division of European and American Art at the Harvard Art Museums.
