Time Out says

Given Harvard’s history and status, it stands to reason it has one of the country’s best university art collections. The collection includes more than 250,000 pieces, from Neolithic sculpture to 21st-century conceptual installations. All housed under one Renzo Piano–designed glass roof: The Fogg Museum, known for its European and American collections; the Busch-Reisinger Museum, with its focus on works from German-speaking countries; and the Arthur M. Sackler Museum, housing one of the most important Asian art collections in the West.

What’s on

Harvard Art Museums at Night

Harvard Art Museums at Night is a smart way to see the collection without treating a museum visit like a daytime errand. The evening program keeps the galleries open after hours and gives you more reason to linger, with the museum's collection providing plenty to explore at your own pace. The nighttime timing is the real advantage: you can make an art outing part of an evening in Cambridge instead of building your whole day around it. It also suits anyone who prefers museums when they feel less rushed and more social. Rather than trying to see everything, pick a few galleries that catch your eye and leave room for the event's after-hours programming. It is an especially good option for a low-key date or a night with friends when you want to do something cultural without committing to a formal performance or dinner reservation.
