Harvard Art Museums

Are you a die-hard fan of the impressionist school of art? Then, if you are in Boston, take time out to leisurely wander through the German expressionism at the Busch-Reisinger Museum. Visit the Arthur M. Sackler Museum for its Oriental art section that includes exquisite Islamic and ancient Asian art. The oldest of Harvard University's art museums, the Fogg Art Museum covers the history of Western art from the Middle Ages to the present. Coming here is akin to taking a trip back in time without the aid of a time machine. Distinguished by the range and depth of their collections, their groundbreaking exhibitions, and the original research of their staff, the museums are unmissable for all sorts of visitors, especially art enthusiasts.
