Harvard Art Museum / Big

in

A big entry sign ... and big gallery titles ... leading to a bigger Harvard Art Museum. The Harvard Art Museum is in the midst of a “transformation” that will bring its three separate museums — the Fogg, the Busch-Reisinger, and the Sackler — together in a renovated and expanded building on Quincy Street. The project, designed by Renzo Piano (naturally: his name seems to be on every museum’s expansion), is scheduled to open in 2013.

In the meantime, the Sackler offers Re-View, a survey of the three museums’ collections. It’s worth a visit if you are in Cambridge. After, you can take a stroll down the street and stop in here for a scoop of Milk Chocolate Gianduia.
