Mergers

[edit]

There are currently 4 articles:

None of them were very well-maintained, as evidenced by the fact that I just updated them a year after the opening of the newly renovated and expanded consolidated building by Renzo Piano. Except the Fogg article, the articles are minimal, and all of them need better references. I suggest we follow the lead of Harvard University, and consolidate the separate articles into a single stronger one called "Harvard Art Museums". Reify-tech (talk) 19:38, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This looks like consensus to me. I'm going to start working on these merges.PacificWonderland (talk) 02:03, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Need coverage of current building and museum services

[edit]

First, I'd like to thank the Wikipedia editors who completed the merger into the current article. But there still is almost no coverage of the actual functioning of the renovated building, and the museum services and activities it houses. The article should have more details on allocation and use of interior spaces, including the central atrium, walk-through public access from two sides, cafe, lockers, museum store, auditoriums and meeting spaces, temporary and permanent exhibition spaces, Study Gallery, visible conservation labs and pigment archives, viewing of smaller artworks on paper by appointment or walk-in, etc. I have some info about these and will add them as my time and inclination allow, but welcome anybody else to help add this content.

Almost 5 years later, the above-noted coverage has not yet been added to the article, which remains as Start-class. As I have time and interest, I will work on this, unless somebody else does it first. Reify-tech (talk) 21:04, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Issue with sources, possible COI

[edit]

Appear to be many self published sources, see Wikipedia:Reliable sources for details about correcting the sources. Possible history of COI edits on this and related museum pages, noted here in case this continues to be an issue. Jooojay (talk) 18:12, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox map caption

[edit]

The caption on the map showing the museums’ location is “location within Boston”. But the location ‘’isn’t’’ within Boston; it’s within Cambridge. The “within Boston” caption seems to be a property of the infobox, not anything that can be edited directly on this page. But is there a way to give it a less misleading caption without screwing up the infobox for every other page it appears on? AJD (talk) 21:33, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
