Harvard Art Museums

Comment on Facebook

 

The Harvard Art Museums, among the world’s leading art institutions, comprise three museums (Fogg, Busch-Reisinger, and Arthur M. Sackler) and four research centers (Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies, the Center for the Technical Study of Modern Art, the Harvard Art Museums Archives, and the Archaeological Exploration of Sardis). The Harvard Art Museums are distinguished by the range and depth of their collections, their groundbreaking exhibitions, and the original research of their staff. The collections include approximately 250,000 objects in all media, ranging in date from antiquity to the present and originating in Europe, North America, North Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, East Asia, and Southeast Asia. Integral to Harvard University and the wider community, the art museums and research centers serve as resources for students, scholars, and other visitors. For more than a century they have been the nation’s premier training ground for museum professionals and are renowned for their seminal role in developing the discipline of art history in this country.

 

In June 2008 the building at 32 Quincy Street, formerly the home of the Fogg and Busch-Reisinger museums, closed for a major renovation. During this renovation, the Sackler Museum at 485 Broadway remains open and has been reinstalled with some of the finest works representing the collections of all three museums. When complete, the renovated historic building on Quincy Street will unite the three museums in a single state-of-the-art facility designed by architect Renzo Piano.

      Some time in the mid 90s I had the pleasure of carefully excavating and crating up of the Tethys Mosaic from the atrium Gardens of the Dumbarton Oaks Museum Georgetown under the careful eye of Susan Boyd the Museum Curator, from whence it was lifted out over the building and stored nearby in covered sheds. I am so pleased to see it recreated and enjoyed again. Happy Memories if you read this Susan. Collapse

      Hall showed wonderful understanding of the subtlety and expressive potential of the French style. Melodies were ornamented fluidly and gracefully; lines arched with elan. Colorful registrations -- we are not used to hearing the reedy and nasal sounds of the Flentrop used so consistently -- brought the organ and this music to life. Collapse
