Where did the phrase "Here be Dragons" come from? What stories and legends have been told about dragons in different cultures across the globe? In this family-friendly virtual talk, we explore works that include dragons—from a variety of cultures, places, and time periods. 'Creature Feature,' an online series from the Harvard Art Museums, offers a chance for families to explore magical creatures across the collections through close looking and curious exploration with museum staff.
