Mission:

The Harvard Art Museums the Fogg Museum, the Busch-Reisinger Museum, and the Arthur M. Sackler Museum advance knowledge about and appreciation of art and art museums.

The Harvard Art Museums bring to light the intrinsic power of art and promote critical looking and thinking for students, faculty, and the public.
