Fogg Museum of Art

The Fogg Art Museum was first opened to the public in 1895. It was then moved in 1927 to its current location in order to become part of Harvard Art Museums. The Fogg Art Museum is the oldest Harvard Museum, which is famous for their objects dating from the Medieval Age to the present. In 1971 the Fogg Art Museum held a memorial exhibition for Arthur Stone Dewing, in which Dewing's objects from his Dewing Greek Numismatic Foundation were put on display. The display was open from March 11 till April 15 1971. After the exhibition was finished the objects were returned to the Dewing Greek Numismatic Foundation, where Mary Morain went on to buy the Red-Figure Attic Lekythos.
