 Special In-Person Event

 Join us for a free, fun night at the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture.

 Come with a date, come with friends, or make new friends while strolling through the galleries.

 This month, learn how photographers and scientists document biodiversity and use art to help people connect with nature.

- Visit the photography exhibit *Frogs! Through an Ecology Lens,* to learn about the diversity of frogs in India.
- Attend the lecture, [India: An Amphibian Hotspot](https://hmsc.harvard.edu/calendar_event/india-an-amphibian-hotspot/), presented by scientist and photographer S. D. Biju, from 6:00 to 7:00 pm.
- Visit [In Search of Thoreau’s Flowers](https://hmnh.harvard.edu/search-thoreau-flowers), an art and science exhibition inspired by Henry David Thoreau’s plant collections from Concord, Massachusetts.
- Create a cyanotype—a camera-less photographic print—using local plant material guided by photographer [Leah Sobsey](https://www.leahsobsey.com) whose work is featured in the Thoreau exhibit.
- Learn about Harvard’s herpetology and botanical research collections.
- Take some snaps in our photo booth with fun nature-themed props and backgrounds.
- Purchase drinks at the cash bar (valid government ID required to consume alcoholic beverages).
- Enter a free raffle to win museum gifts and membership.

 Free and open to the public.
