Free every day (open Tuesday to Sunday, 10am–5pm) and just steps away from Harvard Square, the Harvard Art Museums welcome visitors from around the corner and around the world to enjoy one of the largest and most renowned art collections in North America.
Masterpieces from our collection of more than a quarter million works include paintings by Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Jackson Pollock; contemporary works by living artists such as Bosco Sodi, Ai Wei Wei, and Kerry James Marshall; and a variety of remarkable objects from ancient cultures in the Mediterranean, Near East, and Far East. In addition, an exciting lineup of special exhibitions gives us the chance to showcase an even wider range of works spanning diverse media, genres, and eras
Just steps away from Harvard Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Harvard Art Museums welcome visitors from around the corner and around the world. Visitors can enjoy the many amenities that greet them upon entering the museums’ beautifully restored Calderwood Courtyard on the first floor—our own version of a town square. From there, grab a coffee or snack in Jenny’s Cafe or browse the many unique gifts in the museum shop before exploring over 50 galleries of art across three floors.
In addition to the galleries, visitors can view works of art not currently on display by appointment in the expansive Art Study Center. Conveniently browse the collections and make an appointment.
Many engaging public programs take place throughout the year, from gallery tours to artist talks to workshops in our Materials Lab, a hands-on environment for art making. Once each month, we keep our doors open until 9pm for an evening of art, music, food, special activities, and more. By offering unparalleled access to our collections and resources, the Harvard Art Museums encourage the enjoyment of art by everyone!
The museums are open Tuesday through Sunday, from 10am to 5pm, and are free to all visitors every day. Plan your next visit.
