- Hercules58Naperville, IL14 contributionsFun destination for antique hunting not far from the campuses of Harvard and MIT (and others). Items seemed in good shape and legitimately collectable.Written October 8, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Suz STyre, Lebanon117 contributionsI liked the gallery. It is small but it gives quite a good idea about African American history and some African American characters.Written August 2, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- LeoCambridge, MA47 contributionsFun place to come with friends or to browse, no stores that I would go out of my way to go to. Fun with kids if they like comics.Written March 8, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- ToTravelIsBrilliantWolfville, Canada1,726 contributionsThis is an outstanding location for an event, and we were there for a family wedding. The space for events is stunning, a gorgeous ceiling and staircase and lots of room; there is a separate area for a pre-dinner reception. The wedding was outdoors and lovely gardens surround the space. The one downside, on a very hot July evening, the air conditioning broke and the reaction time to fix it was not fast as one would have hoped. Hopefully lessons have been learned so no one else has to deal with such an issue,Written June 27, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- MikeBirdmanActon, MA947 contributionsThe List Center has two galleries. We were in a walking tour of public are at MIT that they organized. It was just under an hour and we walked around the MIT campus and they showed, discussed and explained how the artworks came to be. It was captivating and there are amazing artworks all over the campus. It is all free. Would recommend a tour of the public art.Written August 2, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Dale A13 contributionsI entered a fee-based competition for possible inclusion in a Gallery 263 exhibition. Instead of adhering to the specific acceptance/denial notification date stated in the specifications, this gallery, without any communication whatsoever, drug their heels and sent out notifications many days later than originally stated, thus rendering my artworks in limbo and unavailable for consideration or exhibition elsewhere.
Upon my pointing this out to them, to my horror, their response did not suggest any plan of rectifying the situation going forward. In fact, they recommended I "...not submit to further opportunities at Gallery 263..".
Way to go "Gallery" 263! Shoo away those demanding accountability when you take their money, and proceed with business as usual.

- blairkk25New Jersey2,863 contributionsI visited the Harvard COOP in November 2021. It is a very nice bookstore near Harvard Square with an adjoining store where you can buy Harvard University merchandise. It was open at 10 am on a Sunday morning. I always enjoy going there.Written December 6, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- TraceM49Hollis, NH224 contributionsA special place! Even if you don’t usually love bookstores, it is worth the stop. And if you do love independent booksellers-run here and leave enough time for browsing!Written March 15, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- leona184Craigavon, UK19 contributionsVisited this cute shop in Sept 2016 and bought 2 George's for my 2 nephews they love them went to visit again in Sept 2019 and found that the shop was closed down and no information on whether there would be another opening somewhere else very disappointingWritten October 17, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Ruth GColumbia, MD1,233 contributionsThis is a fun place where you could spend a lot of time. On the ground floor is a room with a huge pile of used clothing that you can paw through and buy for two dollars a pound.
Upstairs are men’s and women’s clothing. Shirts and blouses seemed to be arranged by type and color, rather than size, which makes finding the right section a little confusing. You have to look for the size on the garment label. Pants were hung by waist size. There are also vintage clothing racks plus accessories, shoes, and even wedding gowns. The store is large and neat.
There’s also a big selection of costumes which I, unfortunately, did not have time to visit. This is a good place to look for bargains. Just be flexible. If you're set on one particular item, you may not find it.Written May 28, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - travellingexpat_12Seattle, WA141 contributionsgreat bookstore with some interesting finds. takes a little bit of digging, but the payoff is worth it. new arrivals stacked by the front door had some great books.Written February 23, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Ina2 contributionsPerfect experience and amazing chocolates! The owners were sweet and very helpful. The products are high quality!Written September 24, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- TraveldocNewton, MA75 contributionsThis shop is situated right off one of the main streets of Harvard Square. They feature crafts by local artists and other hand made goods as well. I saw well done jewelry (but very little gold), excellent leather, glass and many textiles. The shop is quiet and the service is welcoming and warm. A place to see beautiful workmanship, and to shop for unusual and very appealing items.Written January 29, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
