Review of Harvard Art Museums

While two of the three institutions that make up the university's internationally renowned art museum are under renovation, the Arthur M. Sackler Museum is showing highlights from all three collections. Special exhibitions complement Re-View, an overview of objects drawn from the quarter-million works in the Harvard Art Museums' impressive repository. You'll see pieces from the modern and contemporary, Asian, and Islamic collections. The Fogg Museum and the Busch-Reisinger Museum are scheduled to reopen in 2013, when the museums reunite in a single state-of-the-art facility; architect Renzo Piano is leading the renovation and expansion.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
