"Tangible Things," a five-session course on material culture, is a distance-learning collaboration between Bayou Bend, the Chipstone Foundation, and Harvard University EdX.
The teaching staff at Bayou Bend combine video lectures and online components from national experts with hands-on, interactive activities based on the Bayou Bend Collection. Participants interact with classmates around the world in EdX’s online forums, as well as with fellow class members in Houston.
