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.
