The Aldrich will be closed to the public May 26 through June 6 for installation of The Aldrich Decennial: I am what is around me.
Join us for the first Happy Hour Fridays of the season, from 4 to 7 pm, followed by a special 7 pm screening of The Harvard 5 (directed by Devon Chivvis, World Life Productions).
The Harvard 5 tells the little-known story of five architects—Philip Johnson, John Johansen, Landis Gores, Eliot Noyes, and Marcel Breuer—visionaries who ignited a modern design revolution in the wake of WWII. Their avant-garde ideals and Bauhaus-inspired designs challenged local traditions and ultimately redefined American Modernism for the 20th century. Through exclusive interviews with family, clients, biographers, and never-before-seen archival footage, the documentary weaves together the personal and professional journeys of these design trailblazers.

Q&A to follow the screening moderated by The Aldrich Executive Director Cybele Maylone featuring filmmaker Devon Chivvis and Bruce Becker, creator and owner of Hotel Marcel.
Kick off your weekend with an art-filled escape at The Aldrich! Every Friday this summer, the Museum stays open late until 7 pm for Happy Hour Fridays.
