Founded in 1891, the Fogg Art Museum is Harvard University's oldest museum and has long served as the center of art study at Harvard. As you enter, the mood for your visit to the galleries is set by the interior court, copied in Italian travertine from a 16th-century façade in Montepulciano, Italy. Sometimes special exhibits are set up in the court. The museum's permanent collections include a fine collection of English silver, drawings, photographs; Italian, Dutch, and American art; and 19th- and 20th-century Parisian art. Shows of other works from the museum's holdings are set up periodically, and are very well done. The Fogg building complex includes the exhibits of the Busch Reisinger Museum in Werner Otto Hall. The Fogg is on Quincy Street between Harvard Street and Broadway, east of Harvard Yard. For opening times, admission fees and special exhibits, see the Harvard University Art Museums website.
