Harvard Art Museums

Harvard Art Museums Serving our community, both on-campus and off, since 1895. https://harvardartmuseums.org/index-magazine
(777)

Ever since their founding, the Harvard Art Museums—the Fogg Museum, Busch-Reisinger Museum, and Arthur M. Sackler Museum—have been dedicated to advancing and supporting learning at Harvard University, in the local community, and around the world. The museums have played a leading role in the development of art history, conservation, and conservation science, and in the evolution of the art museum

as an institution. Our Special Exhibition Gallery presents important new research on artists and artistic practice, and our University Galleries are programmed in consultation with Harvard faculty to support coursework. https://harvardartmuseums.org/exhibitions

Lectures, workshops, films, performances, special events, and other programs are held throughout the year at the museums. https://harvardartmuseums.org/calendar

For George Washington, it was donning a blue silk taffeta sash, which will be on view at the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology (right down the street from the Harvard Art Museums). Enjoy this short article from Harvard Magazine in which curator Horace Ballard describes Washington's fashion choice.

A famous American fashion statement helps bring Revolutionary history to life.
