The Busch-Reisinger Museum

In an attempt to put at rest the moniker mix-up surrounding one of the Harvard University Art Museums, here is an explanation of the nomenclature as it stands:

The Busch-Reisinger Museum moved out of it's old home at 29 Kirkland Street, Adolphus Busch Hall, in the summer of 1987. The Museum brought it's name and collection into 32 Quincy Street. Most of ABH has been renovated and now houses the Center for European Studies. The sequence of rooms by the Kirkland St. entrance, Romanesque Hall, the Transept and the Apse, is controlled by the Fogg and will eventually contain medieval art from all over Europe. In the meantime, the Fogg and the Busch-Reisinger Museum are open to the public the second Sunday of every month from 1-5 p.m. (the next one is February 11) and the garden is open during the warmer months from 11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

The construction behind the Fogg is for Werner Otto Hall, named after its primary donor. This first floor will be used by the Fine Arts Library and the second and third floors will accommodate the Busch-Reisinger Museum galleries, offices and storage-study space. (Werner Otto Hall is the name of the building).

The bottom line...two buildings - 1) Adolphus Busch Hall where one finds CES and HUAM's up and coming medieval installation; and 2) Werner Otto Hall where, in late 1991, the Fine Arts Library and the Busch-Reisinger Museum will be located. Questions? Call EMMY NORRIS, x2317.
