GALLERIES

The Radcliffe Institute Gallery, upstairs from the Schlesinger Library in Radcliffe Yard, is presenting an excellent show of weavings, quilts, masks and printed textiles. The works are the products of a seminar on the textile traditions of Native America and include both ancient and modern interpretations of centuries-old techniques and designs. While you're there don't forget to stop and see the original plaster cast of the clasped hands of Elizabeth Barret Browning and Robert Browning made by Harriet Hosmer in 1853.

The Carpenter Center has an exhibit of 60 million-year-old crystals from India. The rocks are for sale and you can choose from such exotic minerals as Stilbite bow ties, Mesolite or Okenite, either furry or on Quartz. Even if you're not in the rock market, the shapes and colors of these stones merit looking-at.
