Cambridge, MA - Works from the Harvard Art Museum's three museums—the Fogg Museum, Busch-Reisinger Museum, and Arthur M. Sackler Museum—will be shown together for the first time in this new exhibition. The Harvard Art Museum holds one of the country's preeminent art collections and Re-View reflects the diversity and richness of these holdings, including major and familiar works integral to the Museum's core mission of teaching and research.

The survey of approximately 600 objects features Western art from antiquity to the turn of the 20th century, Islamic and Asian art, and European and American art from 1900 to the present. With a varied sequence of groupings—some traditional and some surprising—the exhibition offers new ways of looking at the collections, which have historically been exhibited in separate facilities.

The exhibition Re-View is on long-term view at the Arthur M. Sackler Museum and provides a selected, ongoing display of the collections while the Art Museum’s building at 32 Quincy Street—the former home of the Fogg and Busch-Reisinger museums—is closed for renovation. This major renovation and expansion project designed by architect Renzo Piano is scheduled to be completed in 2013 and will unite the three museums in one facility.

Re-View has been made possible by a generous grant from the NBT Charitable Trust, as well as the Art Museum's Alexander S., Robert L., and Bruce A. Beal Exhibition Fund; Anthony and Celeste Meier Exhibitions Fund; and Charlotte and Irving Rabb Exhibition Fund.
