[edit] History
The Busch-Reisinger was founded at the turn of the 20th century, and received much of its early funding from the Adolphus Busch family of St. Louis.
[edit] Collections
The collection has a particularly strong collection of 20th century German artists, including expressionist and modernist art, including art of the Bauhaus School and has a wide range of continually changing exhibitions.
[edit] Visiting; Temporary Relocation
The Busch-Reisinger is open (other than holidays) from 10:00 through 5:00 on Monday through Saturday and from 1:00 to 5:00 on Sundays. The Busch-Reisinger also maintains a print room where works on paper which are not on exhibit can be studied.
In February, 2006, Harvard announced that the collections of the Fogg Art Museum and the Busch-Reisinger Museum would be relocated, likely sometime early in 2007, to temporary space in Allston, Massachusetts across the Charles River from Cambridge, while the existing facility underwent significant rennovation.
