    The great Hellenistic marble known as the “Barberini Faun” is one of the key works in the Western canon. Since it was unearthed in Rome in 1627, the Faun, which is now in Munich, has undergone several restorations, some by renowned sculptors. Looking at the earliest model for the first restoration of the Faun which the Harvard Art Museums acquired last year, this lecture will explore the reception and history of the celebrated sculpture.

    The In-Sight Evenings series features talks by curators, after-hours viewing of the galleries, live music, conversation, and refreshments. Other events:
    September 22, 2010: Alfred Stieglitz
    March 9, 2011: Statue of Meleager
    May 11, 2011: Max Beckmann

    Series tickets are $80 (members and Harvard students $64).
    Tickets to individual evenings are $25 (members and Harvard students $20).
