On June 30, 2008, the Harvard Art Museum’s building at 32 Quincy Street—the home of the Fogg Museum and the Busch-Reisinger Museum—will close to the public for a renovation project which is projected to last approximately five years. During the renovation, selected works from the Fogg, Busch-Reisinger, and Sackler collections will be on view at the Arthur M. Sackler Museum at 485 Broadway. However, the Sackler Museum will close for the month of July 2008 in order to complete the reinstallation. Some galleries in the Sackler will begin to open after August 1, and the complete installation will open on September 13, 2008. Public access to works from the Art Museum’s collections not on view, including access to the study rooms, will be unavailable after June 30, 2008 until further notice.

The Harvard University Art Museums are one of the world's leading arts institutions, with the Arthur M. Sackler, Busch-Reisinger, and Fogg art museums, the Straus Center for Conservation, the Center for the Technical Study of Modern Art, the HUAM Archives, and the Archaeological Exploration of Sardis, in Turkey.

The Harvard University Art Museums are distinguished by the range and depth of their collections, their groundbreaking exhibitions, and the original research of their staff. As an integral part of the Harvard community, the three art museums and four research centers serve as resources for all students, adding a special dimension to their areas of study. The public is welcome to experience the collections and exhibitions as well as to enjoy lectures, symposia, and other programs.

For more than a century, the Harvard University Art Museums have been the nation's premier training ground for museum professionals and scholars and are renowned for their role in the development of the discipline of art history in this country.

All three art museums—the Fogg Museum, Busch-Reisinger Museum, and Arthur M. Sackler Museum—will close early on Tuesday, June 24th, at 4 p.m.
