The Harvard Art Museums
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. Displayed in galleries that mix not only media but schools of art, the collections at Harvard are celebrated and interrogated within a larger story of artistic expression and historical and contemporary issues. The diverse collection is among the largest in the United States. Through research, teaching, professional training, and public education, the museums strive to advance the understanding and appreciation of art.

Primarily supporting the goals of the division director, the CM Coordinator will communicate with and provide services to a broad selection of internal and external contacts at all organizational levels. A critical success factor is the ability to anticipate and resolve problems.
