About this event

Step back into the 18th century and put those detective skills to the test! Pop Quiz: 1776 takes guests on a four-museum adventure to uncover surprising ways that life at Harvard was both similar to and—or different from —today.

Would Harvard students in 1776 have known about the things we see and do today? Take a guess, then search for specific objects across the four museums—the Harvard Museum of Natural History, the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology, the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East, and the Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments—to check those answers.

Pro tip: join any Sunday–Friday 11:00 am–4:00 pm to access all four museums
