This postmodern paradigm is home to Harvard's ancient, classical, pre-Colombian, Islamic, Indian, and Asian art collections. The museum is small, but that just gives you more time to wander, contemplating statues of the Buddha or composing odes on Grecian urns. Some of the world's finest Chinese jades and bronzes reside on the fourth floor, and be sure to check out the beautiful illustrations from Muslim manuscripts on the second. Special exhibits and free lectures provide an opportunity to get acquainted with lesser known works; check the
website or call for a calendar of events. Admission $6.50, students and seniors $5. Free for children under 18, Harvard-ID holders, Cambridge library cardholders, or before noon on Sa. Fee also includes admittance to Busch-Reisinger and Fogg museums. Wheelchair-accessible.

The Fogg Art Museum and the Busch-Reisinger Museum will be closed, beginning July 1, 2008, for extensive renovations. Over the course of spring and summer 2008, the Arthur M. Sackler Museum will be reinstalled with representative works from the collections of all three Harvard Art Museums, with an expected opening of the completed reinstallation in September 2008. Please confirm exhibitions and museum hours by calling or visiting the Art Museums website.
