Three world-class collections — Fogg, Busch-Reisinger, and Arthur M. Sackler — unified under a stunning Renzo Piano building. The visible art storage and conservation labs are genuinely rare public access points. Highlights include the German Expressionist collection and an exceptional Impressionist wing. Crowds are manageable compared to the MFA, but parking in Harvard Square is a real headache.
