 Among Harvard’s great museums, these two fine museums situated off Harvard Yard boast some of Boston’s best collections of art works and artefacts.
Founded by Mrs William Hayes Fogg in 1895, the Fogg Art Museum is built around an Italian Renaissance courtyard from the 16th Century, lending the museum a very European air matched by the fabulous collection of European Impressionist art.
From the Grenville L Winthrop collection of over 3,700 works, the Fogg Art Museum houses works from Rossetti, Delacoix, Renoir, Rodin, Manet, Monet, Degas, Cezanne, Matisse and several early Picassos. While the Maurice Wertheim collection contains a number of works from Lautrec and arguably the highlight of the gallery; Van Gogh’s Self Portrait.
As well as its European works, the Fogg Art Museum is renowned for its distinguished collection of paintings from homespun artists such as Homer, Allston, Copley, Whistler and Sargent.
In the adjoining building the Busch-Reisinger Museum has some impressive examples of German expressionist and Bauhaus works,, while nearby, the Arthur M. Sackler Museum is home to an outstanding collection of Ancient, Islamic and Oriental artefacts.
