Hours & Admission

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: A portion of the fourth floor of the Sackler Museum, which contains the Ancient to Modern installation of the exhibition Re-View, will be closed to the public temporarily from Tuesday, May 15, through Saturday, May 19, 2012, to accommodate the installation of the special exhibition Jasper Johns / In Press: The Crosshatch Works and the Logic of Print. Admission fees will be reduced (see rates below in Admission section). The current exhibition Lyonel Feininger: Photographs, 1928–1939 will remain open. The entire fourth floor will reopen on Tuesday, May 22, along with the Jasper Johns exhibition.
