The Harvard Art Museums—comprising the Fogg Museum, the Busch-Reisinger Museum, and the Arthur M. Sackler Museum—will open the new Renzo Piano-designed facility to the public on November 16, 2014.
Offices, classrooms, and the lecture hall at the Arthur M. Sackler Museum at 485 Broadway remain open for staff, faculty, and students. Public programs and events continue to be offered in the lecture hall and at a number of other Harvard campus venues. The Sackler Museum lobby and lecture hall and Adolphus Busch Hall remain available to rent.
To celebrate the opening, the Harvard Art Museums will host a suite of special events—engaging multiple groups, audiences, and supporters. The first of these events will be a celebration for Harvard students in keeping with the museums’ mission of teaching and research as well as their role in supporting a broad range of teaching across disciplines at Harvard. Special events for faculty, donors, museum supporters, alumni, and others will follow, culminating in a preview for Cambridge residents ahead of the public opening celebration on Sunday, November 16.
