        The Harvard Art Museums
Cambridge
617-495-9400

Harvard's art museums comprise three separate collections, housed in two different locations. You only need to purchase one pass, however, to enter all three museums. These passes are available at either building.

Arthur M. Sackler Museum
The exterior of the Arthur M. Sackler Museum, located at 485 Broadway, has an odd stripey appearance and neon green trim which belie its tranquil, airy galleries. The museum has an exceptional collection of art objects from the Middle and Far East. Its treasure-trove of Islamic wood-block prints is unsurpassed.

The Fogg Museum
The Fogg Museum at 32 Quincy Street is Harvard's oldest museum. It was founded in 1891 to provide collections for the study of art history by Harvard students. A two-story gallery surrounds the central Italian Renaissance courtyard.

The Fogg has a fine collection of mid-20th century American paintings by masters such as Roy Lichtenstein and Mark Rothko as well as a huge inventory of prints and drawings available for viewing by appointment only. The collection of Rembrandt drawings alone is said to be the largest outside the Netherlands.

The Busch-Reisinger Museum
The collections of the Busch-Reisinger Museum are now housed in Werner Otto Hall which is accessible only through the Fogg Museum. This group of dark and brooding works focuses on art from central and northern Europe.
