Welcome to HMSC Connects! where we go behind the scenes of four Harvard museums to explore the connections between us, our big, beautiful world, and even what lies beyond. HMSC is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year! A lot has changed over 10 years. It's been quite the journey, but we've been guided with grace by two Executive Directors. First, Jane Pickering, who is now the William and Muriel Seabury Howells Director of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, one of our partner museums at Harvard. And now, Brenda Tindal, who recently took on a new role as Chief Campus Curator for Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Today, Jennifer is reflecting with them on HMSC's first decade, and imagining how we grow from here.
