Art Museums at Harvard University

The Fogg Museum of Art at Harvard University is under renovation and won't be completed until 2013. Across the street, the Sackler Museum of Asian and Middle Eastern Art has a few of Fogg's items on display--a room full of modern & post-modern art. The Asian & Middle Eastern art is upstairs--I took pictures of Buddhas, Hindu deities, and some Islamic tile. Gorgeous stuff. I also bought the museum's handbook to see a lot more of the museum's art, most of which is currently hidden away in storage.
