Harvard Art Museum
The Harvard Art Museum, one of the world's leading arts institutions,
consists of three museums. The Fogg Museum has Western art from the Middle
Ages to the present; the Busch-Reisinger Museum is focused on the art of
Central and Northern Europe, with a special emphasis on German-speaking
countries; and the Arthur M. Sackler Museum features ancient, Asian,
Islamic, and later Indian collections. In June 2008, the Harvard Art
Museum's building at 32 Quincy St., formerly the home of the Fogg and
Busch-Reisinger Museums, will close for a major renovation. During this
renovation, the Sackler Museum at 485 Broadway will remain open and show
some of the finest works representing the collections of all three museums.
When complete, the renovated historic building at 32 Quincy St. will house
the three museums in a single state-of-the-art facility.
