Set against the wonder of the museum, students from the New Haven Public Schools will share music and dance. Immerse yourself in what the New Haven community offers at the Yale Peabody Museum!

On the occasion of a forthcoming (August 12th) solar eclipse with its totality path streaking across northern Spain, David Evans leads us on a temporal journey spanning centuries, millennia, and geological epochs. Highlighting the value of place-centered pedagogy that he uses in his teaching, Evans tracks historical contingencies of the Iberian Peninsula from its primordial legacy -- tectonics, mineral deposits, landscapes, and climate -- through the antiquities, middle ages, industrial era, and present day. Recorded history and increased understanding of eclipses through the ages help weave together this tapestry of time, and even provide quantitative insights as far reaching as the billions-of-years evolution of the Moon's orbit around the Earth.
