The Harvard Art Museums, located in Cambridge, comprise three distinct institutions—the Fogg Museum (established 1895), the Busch-Reisinger Museum (1903), and the Arthur M. Sackler Museum (1985)—unified administratively in 1983 under Harvard University. Designed by Renzo Piano, the main building encompasses 204,000 square feet, with approximately 43,000 square feet devoted to exhibitions alongside classrooms, conservation labs, and research facilities. The museums' collection numbers roughly 250,000 objects spanning from antiquity to the present, drawn from Europe, North America, North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Beyond the three museums, the institution operates four research centers, including the Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies (founded 1928) and the Center for the Technical Study of Modern Art (2002).
