Somerville Museum

Your home is full of treasures! In Your Home Is a Museum, participants are invited to bring a meaningful object from home - something you were given, something you found in the floorboards or the backyard, something you inherited, or something that has always been important to you for whatever reason. An object with a full-bodied 5-10 minute story.
We’ll create a display together from all the objects and then listen to each other's stories. Think the “Moth” radio hour or “Antiques Road Show.”
Explore how personal stories become part of shared history.
No museum experience required, just curiosity and a story to tell.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/145775/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets &amp;&nbsp;More Info</a>

<a href="https://peabody.harvard.edu/iran-visual-testimony" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">From Iran: A Visual Testimony</a>
Friday, May 15, 2026–Sunday, March 21, 2027
Peabody Museum of Archaeology &amp; Ethnology, 11 Divinity Avenue, Cambridge

Created over the course of fourteen years, Azadeh Akhlaghi’s project stages and photographs pivotal moments from Iran’s tumultuous twentieth-century history. Drawing on meticulous archival research and her background in cinema, she casts professional and nonprofessional actors and photographs each scene from multiple angles to reimagine historical events as complex tableaux, set in real locations in Iran.&nbsp;

In sixteen images—three presented as large-scale prints—Akhlaghi depicts eleven pivotal incidents highlighting the cycle of successful and failed efforts by Iranians to reclaim control of their country between 1908—when the Shah quashed the first National Assembly—and 1979, when the monarchy was overthrown and Islamic rule began.
