History, Art, and Culture

For more than a century, the Somerville Museum has shared the history, art, and culture of our city. Here you can find some of our previous events, lectures, and exhibits highlighting the excellent work of valuable members of the Somerville community.

These events are part of a Somerville Museum Virtual Series called Voices from Somerville: Culture, Community, and History.
