✨💛 Greater Boston Museum Visit | October
Welcome to our Greater Boston Harvard Museum Exhibit Visit for October 2025!
Our October event will be a visit to the Peabody Museum at Harvard University. We will be experiencing the exhibit Castaway: The Afterlife of Plastic, which transforms plastic debris collected along the shores of Queensland, Western Australia, and Tasmania into thought-provoking works of art including photographs, artifacts, maps, and charts. Presented in Spanish and English, Castaway invites us to reflect on the environmental and cultural legacy of plastic and our responsibility for its “afterlife.”
Host: This event will be organized by WAC City Lead Olivia LaRoche
Venue: Peabody Museum of Archeology & Ethnology, 11 Divinity Ave, Cambridge, MA
