哈佛艺术馆由3个组成:The Harvard Art Museums:
当你看到 FOGG博物馆里那些精美的青铜器,你会好奇,这宝贝如何飘洋过海来到哈佛?
Fogg, Busch-Reisinger, Arthur M. Sackler 三位慈善大师是何方圣贤?

妻子是著名鸦片商人Perkin家后代Elizabeth Perkin
Fogg Brothers of Boston, a shipping company in the China trade

When Elizabeth Fogg died in 1891, the estate was distributed among educational and charitable institutions throughout the United States. Harvard University received the Foggs' collection of Oriental art and $200,000 to build the William H. Fogg Art Museum on campus.
(The Perkin family has been prominent in Massachusetts since the early colonial period, and many descendants of the family have lived in the state over the years. Some well-known members of the family include Thomas Handasyd Perkins, a wealthy merchant and philanthropist who lived in Boston in the early 19th century, and George W. Perkins, a financier and partner in the banking firm of J.P. Morgan & Co. who was born in New York but had family roots in Massachusetts.)
此外在缅因州也有捐赠。

A small Chinese table in a New York furniture dealer put Chinese art into focus for Sackler who thought, "that here was an esthetic not commonly appreciated or understood." Following the Chinese Civil War, exporters cashed out their holdings and young collectors like Sackler were fortunate to be good targets. He amassed tens of thousands of objects in his life, representing wide and varied interests—Shang dynasty oracle bones, Achaemenid vessels from Iran, and South Asian temple sculpture from the tenth to fourteenth century. Some works are of exhibition quality and some are more appropriate for studies.[18][20]

He later gave money quarterly to psychiatrist Paul Singer, another enthusiastic collector of Chinese works, who did not have funds but whose taste Sackler trusted. The one string attached to the gift was that upon Singer's death, his collection would be given to a Sackler gallery. In 1997, while cataloguing the collection for acquisition, the Smithsonian museum staff determined that 160 documented objects were missing from Dr. Singer’s residence at the time of his death. Most of the lost collection has not been recovered to this day.[21][20
