What was the Enlightenment? Come see and decide for yourself. “Dare to Know: Prints and Drawings in the Age of Enlightenment,” is a special exhibition which looks at 150 works on paper from the 18th century that were a site for experimentation and a place to dream a new way of life and a new reality. The exhibition asks new and sometimes uncomfortable questions of the so-called age of reason, inviting visitors to embrace the Enlightenment’s same spirit of inquiry—to investigate, to persuade, and to imagine. Exhibition is on view at the Harvard Art Museums through January 15, 2023. #DareToKnow TAKE A CLOSER LOOK: + Explore the Special Exhibition: https://www.harvardartmuseums.org/daretoknow SPEAKERS: + Elizabeth Rudy, Carl A Weyerhaeuser Curator of Prints, Harvard Art Museums; + Kristel Smentek, Associate Professor, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. -- All images and graphics used in the video belong to their respective owners and this channel does not claim any right over them.
