Thursday, April 23, 2026, 12:30 pm. 

Harvard Art Museums describes the exhibition as “the first major exhibition on this topic to take place in the United States, Celtic Art Across the Ages offers an unprecedented opportunity to explore masterful metalwork, including exquisitely decorated weaponry, jewelry, and horse and chariot trappings of the first millennium BCE Iron Age and early medieval times, all brought to light through archaeological discoveries of the last 200 years. See how imagery transformed under Roman rule, and trace the revival of Celtic art and identities in the modern era. From shape-shifting ancient ornaments to the more well-known Celtic iconography of medieval Ireland and Scotland, the objects in this exhibition reveal rich and complex artistic traditions that defy stereotypes of what constitutes ‘Celtic art.’ ”

Explore the exhibition, which stretches from 800 BCE through today, with Professor Rodríguez and learn more about the artistic expressions in religious spaces in ancient Gaul.
