The Busch-Reisinger Museum is the only museum in America devoted to promoting the arts of Central and Northern Europe, with a special emphasis on the German-speaking countries. Founded in 1901 as the Germanic Museum, the museum relocated in 1991 to the new Werner Otto Hall, a building adjacent to and accessible through the Fogg Art Museum. The Busch-Reisinger Museum has particularly important holdings of Austrian Secession art, German expressionism, 1920s abstraction, and material related to the Bauhaus. In addition, the Museum has significant holdings of post-war and contemporary art from German-speaking Europe. The collection of unique and editioned artworks by artist Joseph Beuys is among the world's most comprehensive, and the Barbara and Peter Moore Fluxus Collection is a remarkable first-owner collection that places Harvard’s Fluxus holdings among the most significant in North America.
