Harvard art museums: Arthur M. Sackler Museum, Busch-Reisinger Museum, Fogg Museum in Cambridge.
The Harvard Art Museums have undergone an impressive facelift with an extension under the direction of architect Renzo Piano. The stone structure has been enhanced by a subtle blend of glass and steel. Their collections are spread across several galleries.
Arthur M. Sackler Museum. This wing presents mainly Asian art, with Chinese bronzes, Buddhist sculptures, Chinese and Korean ceramics, Japanese and Iranian calligraphy.
Busch-Reisinger Museum. Collection focusing on the art of German-speaking countries and the cultures of central and northern Europe. Important collection of 18th-century porcelain in particular, and art since 1945, with emphasis on photography and drawing. Don't miss Composition with Blue, Black, Yellow and Red, by Piet Mondrian, Self-portrait in Tuxedo, by Max Beckmann, and Reclining Man, by Lewis W. Rubenstein.
Fogg Museum. This section traces the history of art from the Middle Ages to the present day. Highlights include Fra Angelico's Christ on the Cross, the Virgin, Saint John the Evangelist and Cardinal Torquemada (1446), Picasso's Mother and Child( 1901), Renoir's Madame Pierre Henri Renoir, Manet's Emmanuel Chabrier, Monet's La Route de la ferme Saint-Siméon, Monet's Snow Effect , Renoir's Self-Portrait, Gauguin's Poèmes Barbares, Toulouse-Lautrec's Gueule de Bois and Degas' La Répétition. The panorama would not be complete without a few works of modern art, by Pollock and Rothko in particular.
