Sea Monsters on Maps at the Harvard Museums

From krakens to serpents, sea monsters have adorned maps as both warnings and wonders of the unknown ocean for centuries. Presented by the Harvard Museum of Natural History and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture, this free lecture at the Geological Lecture Hall with Professor Peter Girguis, a professor of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University, and Chet Van Duzer of University of Rochester’s Lazarus Project, allows you to explore the fascinating history of sea monsters on maps and their role in unraveling the mysteries of the ocean. After the program, you can enjoy free access to the exhibition Sea Monsters: Wonders of Nature and Imagination at the Harvard Museum of Natural History. Advance registration is recommended for this hybrid event.
