Renaissance-Inspired Architecture at the Harvard Art Museums

Designed by renowned architect Renzo Piano, the museum’s renovation and expansion unite the legacies of three world-class institutions under one roof for the first time. Piano’s thoughtful design preserved the Fogg Museum’s iconic 1927 structure while transforming it into a dynamic, light-filled space tailored for twenty-first-century visitors. Each of the three museums maintains its unique identity, yet their shared setting offers an extraordinary opportunity to experience art, architecture, and culture in a richer, more connected way.
