The Harvard Art Museums combine the Fogg, Busch-Reisinger and Sackler museums at 32 Quincy Street in Cambridge. Renzo Piano renovated and expanded the Quincy Street building, which reopened in November 2014 after closing in 2008. It added a glass, truncated pyramidal roof. Harvard University is the owner. The article gives no style label for the Piano building.
James Stirling designed the Arthur M. Sackler Museum, which has two monolithic concrete pillars, and Gwathmey Siegel designed Werner Otto Hall in 1991. The main building is 204,000 square feet, with about 43,000 for exhibitions, and the renovation increased gallery space by 40 percent.
The infobox gives 1983 as the merger year. The text gives 1895 for the Fogg, 1903 for the Busch-Reisinger and 1985 for the Sackler, though it also says 1984. The Sackler building reopened in 2019 as a research facility. The article gives no hours.
