Drawing inspiration from sources ranging from Fluxus to tarot decks, artists' books to Trapper Keepers, this mini-collection from the Harvard Art Museums, printed on unbound cards, can be shuffled, organized, or displayed however you choose.
The Harvard Art Museums, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, are home to more than a quarter of a million objects, from ancient times to the present, and from nearly every corner of the world. The size and scope of the collections as well as the diverse array of exhibitions and events on offer mean that there is always a fresh way to experience the museums, whether you are visiting for the first time or the hundredth.
This art deck--a peek into the vast treasures of the museums through a sampling of seventy-five works of art--has something for everyone: recent acquisitions, stories from the archives, new takes on old favorites, and more. Printed as a series of unbound cards and with striking details at large scale, these reflections highlight the varied ways that art can speak to us, from the personal to the historical, the emotional to the aesthetic.
