A Stroll through History at the Harvard Art Museums

Join us for a stroll through three fascinating historical spaces at the Harvard Art Museums: Adophus Busch Hall, the home of the Busch-Reisinger Museum from 1917 to 1991; the Calderwood Courtyard, the architectural centerpiece of the 32 Quincy Street building, whose arches are modeled after the facade of a 16th-century canon’s house in Montepulciano, Italy; and the Naumburg Room, a hidden “living room” bequeathed to the Fogg Museum in 1930. Starting at Adolphus Busch Hall at 29 Kirkland Street, this tour will explore each location’s significance to Harvard Art Museums’ history through stories drawn from the rich visual and documentary holdings of the museums’ archives. Please note that the walking tour will take place rain or shine.
Led by:
Megan Schwenke, Senior Archivist/Records Manager, Harvard Art Museums Archives
