In 2008 the building at 32 Quincy Street, formerly the home of the Fogg and Busch-Reisinger museums, closed for a major renovation. During this renovation, the Arthur M. Sackler Museum at 485 Broadway remains open and has been reinstalled with some of the finest works representing the collections of all three museums. When complete, the renovated historic building on Quincy Street will unite the three museums in a single state-of-the-art facility designed by architect Renzo Piano.
Special notice: On Tuesday, January 31, 2012 the Sackler Museum’s fourth-floor reopened with special exhibition galleries and expanded teaching galleries as part of the new layout, along with a refreshed installation of works of Western art from antiquity until around 1900 that is part of the ongoing exhibition Re-View.
A listing of current exhibitions can be found here.
