Harvard University

Ivy league prestige

Harvard University

A short walk from Harvard T station, Harvard University’s gates are open to welcome visitors into the Yard and its statue of founder John Harvard.

Prestige oozes from every tasteful brick building and the tall shade trees. Potential applicants and history buffs might opt for any of the reserve-ahead campus tours.

Museums

Others might simply want to peruse the diverse offerings at the Harvard Art museums, which are concentrated in a single multi-story building and free for visitors.

Hippo

Other museums at Harvard are well worth the stop: the Harvard Museum of Natural History, the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East, and the Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments.
