The Busch-Reisinger Museum of central and northern European art used to be housed in Adolphus Busch Hall, a little Teutonic gem of a building complete with clock tower, just north of Memorial Hall, at the corner of Quincy and Kirkland Streets. The collection was moved from there to the Fogg Art Museum, but in2008 the Fogg was closed for renovation until 2013. Selected items from the Busch Reisinger collection are currently on display in the Sackler Museum nearby. Adolphus Busch Hall continues as a gallery for medieval sculpture, plaster casts, and architectural fragments. It's open to the public on the second Sunday of each month from 1 to 5 pm, and when public concerts are given on the museum's famous Flentrop organ in the Romanesque Hall. If you get in, you'll see a full-size replica of the "Golden Gate," or main portal, of the cathedral of Freiburg, and other plaster casts of superb Germanic architecture and design, and exhibits detailing the history of the Busch-Reisinger Museum, but the museum's collections have been moved to new buildings attached to the Fogg Art Museum, a five-minute stroll away.
