The art museum as we know it today has diverse origins some going back centuries, but the object-centered Museum Course taught by Paul Sachs and others in close affiliation with Harvard’s laboratory-oriented Fogg Art Museum deserves a special place, both for its radical impact and ongoing relevance. As Harvard celebrates 150 years of fine arts education, Paul Sachs’s engaging memoir Tales of an Epoch is being published for the first time, thoughtfully introduced, edited and contextualized by Felipe Pereda, Fernando Zóbel de Ayala Professor of Spanish Art and head of Graduate Studies in Harvard’s Department of History of Art & Architecture.


Recognition of Paul Sachs has faded with time, but his legacy lives. A telling measure of his influence is the cast of students, colleagues and friends populating Tales of an Epoch. Future museum directors and curators enrolled in the course include Chick Austin (Wadsworth Atheneum), Alfred Barr (Museum of Modern Art), Sherman Lee (Cleveland Art Museum), James Rorimer (Metropolitan Museum of Art), Perry Rathbone (Boston Museum of Fine Arts) and John Walker (National Gallery of Art). The future director of the Fogg and a research assistant for Sachs, Agnes Mongan was named Keeper of Drawings at the Fogg in 1937, a title only elevated to Curator in 1947 after the war. Future collectors include Lincoln Kirstein, Henry McIlhenny, Joseph Pulitzer and E.M.M. Warburg. Illustrious colleagues, mentors and protégés include Aby Warburg, Bernard Berenson, John Coolidge, Edward Waldo Forbes, Maurice Wertheim, and Grenville Winthrop.


Tales of an Epoch and a “where did they go” list tracking the careers of Museum Course alumni in the Appendix amplifies the depth and range of Sachs’s influence on museums as we experience them today. 
Both scholars and general readers with an interest in the cultural evolution of museums over the past 100 hundred years will find the pairing of Sachs and Pereda both illuminating and thought provoking—not just in retrospect, but in looking ahead.

Nice hose filter for filling hot tubs
Style: Standard Filter
I bought this for filling up my hot tub. It does the trick. Straight tap water was difficult to balance the ph and keep it stable. When I fill the hot tub using the filter, the water is more balanced and easier to maintain. I used it for two 390gal refills before I noticed it was getting slower, so ordered another one. I haven’t used it for drinking water so can’t comment on the taste. It does seem to help with hardness though.

I recently purchased the Camco TastePURE RV Water Filter with a flexible hose, and it has significantly improved the quality of the water in our RV. This new and advanced inline water filter offers a perfect combination of convenience, effectiveness, and durability, making it an essential addition for any RV owner. First and foremost, the performance of the Camco TastePURE Water Filter is impressive. It effectively removes impurities, odors, and bad tastes from the water, providing clean and fresh drinking water directly from the tap. The advanced filtration system reduces chlorine, sediment, and other contaminants, ensuring the water is safe and pleasant to drink. The inclusion of a flexible hose is a standout feature. The hose makes it easy to connect the filter to various water sources without straining or kinking. This flexibility is particularly useful when dealing with tight or awkward spaces often encountered at campgrounds or RV parks. The hose also helps to relieve pressure on the connections, reducing the risk of leaks. Installation is straightforward and user-friendly. The filter comes with clear instructions, and the connections are standard, making it easy to attach to most water sources and RV plumbing systems. The quick and hassle-free setup ensures you can start enjoying clean water almost immediately. The durability of the Camco TastePURE Water Filter is another strong point. Made from high-quality materials, the filter is built to withstand the rigors of outdoor use and frequent travel. The sturdy construction ensures it can handle varying water pressures without cracking or leaking, providing reliable performance throughout its lifespan. One of the major advantages of this water filter is its versatility. It is not only suitable for RVs but can also be used for boats, trailers, and even at home with garden hoses. This multipurpose functionality makes it a valuable investment for anyone looking to improve water quality in various settings. Maintenance of the filter is minimal and straightforward. The replaceable filter cartridges are easy to change, and the clear housing allows you to monitor the filter's condition and know when it's time for a replacement. This convenience ensures that maintaining clean and safe water is a simple and manageable task. In terms of value for money, the Camco TastePURE Water Filter is excellent. The combination of high-quality filtration, ease of use, and durability makes it a cost-effective solution for ensuring clean water in your RV. The peace of mind that comes with knowing you have access to safe drinking water is well worth the investment. In summary, the Camco TastePURE RV Water Filter with a flexible hose is a must-have accessory for any RV owner. Its advanced filtration system, durable construction, and easy installation make it a standout choice for improving water quality on the go.

Good for using for makeshift folding RV counter
Size: 10 Inch
We installed these shelf brackets in our RV to use as an extension of the counter, using the sink cover. Because we do not want to screw the sink cover to the brackets, we have used velcro to attach it to the brackets. This has worked very well.
