Daylong Symposium: Celtic Art Up Close

Harvard Art Museums
32 Quincy St.
Cambridge
Sat., Apr. 11, 2026, 10:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.



This daylong symposium, featuring five guest speakers, will focus on some of the most intricately decorated objects included in the exhibition Celtic Art Across the Ages (March 6–August 2, 2026). The presenters will first take a close look at the objects, then explore such topics as their materials and making; contexts of use and deposition; actual and symbolic functions; and their roles in encounters between the Iron Age populations of western Europe and the Roman Empire. A roundtable discussion highlighting current approaches and new finds will close the symposium.
