Harvard Art Museum

Located at Harvard University, the Harvard Art Museum is one of the world's leading arts institutions, comprising the Fogg Museum, which specializes in Western Art from the Middle Ages to the present, the Busch-Reisinger Museum, which specializes in visual arts from German-speaking Central and Northern Europe, the Arthur M. Sackler Museum, which specializes in Ancient art, Asian art, Islamic art, and later Indian art and four research centers: the Archaeological Exploration of Sardis, the Center for the Technical Study of Modern Art, the Harvard Art Museum Archives, and the Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies. The Harvard Art Museum collection is among the six largest in the United States.

In 2008, the 32 Quincy Street building that formerly housed the Fogg Museum and the Busch-Reisinger Museum closed for a major renovation project to create a new museum building designed by architect Renzo Piano that will house all three museums one facility. During the renovation, selected works from the Fogg, Busch-Reisinger, and Sackler collections are on display at the Arthur M. Sackler Museum, located at 485 Broadway.

The Harvard Art Museum's online Collection Search features over 250,000 works of art.
