“By definition, a typology is an assemblage based on a shared attribute, and looking at each of these collections you can quickly see how they are connected to each other.”
– Diana Zlatanovski

Gathered during the course of expeditions, excavations and scientific study, the millions of artefacts and specimens held in the museum cabinets at the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture represent Harvard’s continuing pursuit of knowledge about our diverse world and its history. Patterns resonate and reveal themselves in this unique photographic essay on the collections, creating intrigue, inspiration and wonder.
