Harvard University Art Museums

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Harvard University Art Museums are the Fogg Art Museum, which specializes in Western Art from the Middle Ages to the present, the Busch-Reisinger Museum, which specializes in art of Central and Northern Europe, and the Arthur M. Sackler Museum, which specializes in ancient, Islamic and Asian art. Taken together, the museums hold one of the largest and most valuable collections of art in the United States.

A new museum building scheduled to open in 2008 was designed by architect Renzo Piano.

The Harvard University Art Museums have one of the better on-line collections of art, with over 81,000 objects listed, many with photographs.[[1]]
