ArtsBoston is a nonprofit dedicated to supporting the arts.
We welcome all to discover the rich collections of the Fogg, Busch-Reisinger, and Arthur M. Sackler Museums, newly united in a state-of-the-art facility designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop. The renovation and expansion of our landmark building on the Harvard University campus provides new spaces for research, teaching, and learning–all of which are at the heart of our mission. Explore our expanded Collections Galleries featuring works from the ancient world to the present, and from the Americas, Europe, North Africa, the Mediterranean, and Asia. Visit the Lightbox Gallery at the building’s summit to use technology to explore the collections in new ways, and gain a glimpse into the labs of the Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies. Attend a lecture or film, or make an appointment to visit the Art Study Center for a closer look at original works of art not currently on view in the galleries. See our calendar for programs and events.
