Taking the T is the best way to get to the museum. Take a Red Line train from Boston or Alewife (Alewife Station, located off Route 2 in Cambridge, has a garage with all day parking) to Harvard Square. The station has multiple exits; take a Massachusetts Avenue exit. Once above ground, look for the Harvard Yard gates and walk diagonally through Harvard Yard to the other side, out the gates, and continue between Memorial Hall on the right (the large ornate brick building, home of Sanders Theatre) and the Science Center on the left toward the intersection of Kirkland and Oxford streets. Walk east (right) on Kirkland Street and take the first left onto Divinity Avenue. The museum will be on the left, almost at the end of the short street.
