Harvard's art museums: Arthur M. Sackler Museum, Busch-Reisinger Museum, Fogg Museum in Cambridge.
The Harvard Art Museums underwent an impressive facelift with an extension under the direction of architect Renzo Piano. The stone structure has been enhanced by a subtle blend of glass and steel. Their collections are spread over several galleries.
Arthur M. Sackler Museum. This wing presents mainly Asian art, with Chinese bronzes, Buddhist sculptures, Chinese and Korean ceramics, Japanese and Iranian calligraphy.
Busch-Reisinger Museum. Collection with a focus on the art of German-speaking countries and the cultures of central and northern Europe. Important collection of porcelain from the 18th century in particular, and art since 1945, with emphasis on photography and drawing. To be seen: Composition with Blue, Black, Yellow and Red, by Piet Mondrian, Self-potrait in Tuxedo, by Max Beckmann, and Reclining Man, by Lewis W. Rubenstein.
Fogg Museum. This section traces the history of art from the Middle Ages to the present day, mainly through paintings and sculptures. See, in particular, Christ on the Cross, the Virgin, Saint John the Evangelist and Cardinal Torquemada (1446), by Fra Angelico, Picasso's Mother and Child (1901), Madame Pierre Henri Renoir de Renoir, Emmanuel Chabrier de Manet, Road Towards the Farm and Honfleur de Monet, Autoportrait de Renoir, Poèmes Barbares de Gauguin, Gueule de Bois de Toulouse-Lautrec, La Répétition de Degas. The panorama would not be complete without a few works of modern art: Pollock and Rothko.
