The Museum of Fine Arts (often abbreviated equally MFA Boston or MFA) is an art museum in Boston, Massachusetts. It is the 20th-largest art museum in the world, measured by public gallery area. It contains 8,161 paintings and more 450,000 works of art, making it one of the well-nigh comprehensive collections in the Americas. With more than i.two million visitors a year,[2] it is the 52nd–most visited fine art museum in the earth as of 2019[update].

Founded in 1870 in Copley Square, the museum moved to its current Fenway location in 1909. It is affiliated with the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts.

History [edit]

1870–1907 [edit]

The original Museum of Fine Arts building in Copley Square

The Museum of Fine Arts was founded in 1870 and was initially located on the top floor of the Boston Archives. Most of its initial collection came from the Athenæum's Art Gallery.[3] Francis Davis Millet, a local creative person, was instrumental in starting the fine art schoolhouse affiliated with the museum, and in appointing Emil Otto Grundmann as its offset managing director.[4] In 1876, the museum moved to a highly ornamented brick Gothic Revival building designed past John Hubbard Sturgis and Charles Brigham, noted for its massed architectural terracotta. It was located in Copley Square at Dartmouth and St. James Streets.[3] It was built almost entirely of brick and terracotta, which was imported from England, with some stone almost its base of operations.[5] Subsequently the MFA moved out in 1907, this original building was demolished, and the Copley Plaza Hotel (at present the Fairmont Copley Plaza) replaced it in 1912.[6]

1907–2008 [edit]

In 1907, plans were laid to build a new home for the museum on Huntington Avenue in Boston's Fenway–Kenmore neighborhood, near the recently opened Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Museum trustees hired builder Guy Lowell to create a pattern for a museum that could be congenital in stages, every bit funding was obtained for each stage. 2 years later, the first section of Lowell's neoclassical design was completed. It featured a 500-foot (150 m) façade of granite and a yard rotunda. The museum moved to its new location afterward in 1909.

The 2d phase of construction built a wing along The Fens to firm paintings galleries. It was funded entirely by Maria Antoinette Evans Hunt, the married woman of wealthy business magnate Robert Dawson Evans, and opened in 1915. From 1916 through 1925, the noted artist John Singer Sargent painted the frescoes that beautify the rotunda and the associated colonnades.

The Decorative Arts Wing was built in 1928, and expanded in 1968. An add-on designed by Hugh Stubbins and Assembly was built in 1966–1970, and another expansion by The Architects Collaborative opened in 1976. The Westward Wing, now the Linde Family Fly for Gimmicky Fine art, was designed by I. M. Pei and opened in 1981. This wing at present houses the museum's cafe, eatery, meeting rooms, classrooms, and a giftshop/bookstore, as well as large exhibition spaces.

The Tenshin-En Japanese Garden designed by Kinsaku Nakane opened in 1988, and the Norma Jean Calderwood Garden Courtroom and Terrace opened in 1997.[7] [iii]

2008–present [edit]

In the mid-2000s, the museum launched a major effort to renovate and expand its facilities. In a vii-year fundraising campaign between 2001 and 2008 for a new wing, the endowment, and operating expenses, the museum managed to receive over $500 1000000, in addition to acquiring over $160 million worth of art.[8]

During the global financial crunch between 2007 and 2012, the museum'southward annual budget was trimmed by $ane.5 million. The museum increased revenues by organizing traveling exhibitions, which included a loan exhibition sent to the for-profit Bellagio in Las Vegas in commutation for $i meg. In 2011, Moody's Investors Service calculated that the museum had over $180 million in outstanding debt. However, the bureau cited growing attendance, a large endowment, and positive cash flow as reasons to believe that the museum'south finances would get stable in the near hereafter.

In 2011, the museum put viii paintings by Monet, Renoir, Pissarro, Sisley, Gauguin, and others on sale at Sotheby's, bringing in a total of $21.6 1000000, to pay for Man at His Bath past Gustave Caillebotte at a price reported to be more than than $15 million.[9]

On March 12, 2020, the museum announced that it would close indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. All public events and programs were canceled until August 31, 2020. The museum reopened on September 26, 2020.[x]

Art of the Americas Wing [edit]

The renovation included a new Fine art of the Americas Wing to feature artwork from Due north, South, and Cardinal America. In 2006, the groundbreaking ceremonies took place. The new fly and bordering Ruth and Carl J. Shapiro Family unit Courtyard (a bright, cavernous interior space) were designed in a restrained, contemporary style by the London-based architectural house Foster and Partners, under the directorship of Thomas T. Difraia and CBT/Childs Bertman Tseckares Architects. The landscape compages firm Gustafson Guthrie Nichol redesigned the Huntington Avenue and Fenway entrances, gardens, access roads, and interior courtyards.

The wing opened on November 20, 2010, with gratuitous admission to the public. Mayor Thomas Menino alleged it "Museum of Fine Arts Twenty-four hour period", and more than xiii,500 visitors attended the opening. The 12,000-foursquare-foot (1,100 yard2) drinking glass-enclosed courtyard now features a 42.v-foot (13.0 m) loftier glass sculpture, titled the Lime Green Icicle Tower, by Dale Chihuly.[11] In 2014, the Art of the Americas Wing was recognized for its high architectural achievement by the laurels of the Harleston Parker Medal, past the Boston Order of Architects.

In 2015, the museum renovated its outdoors Japanese garden, Tenshin-en. The garden, which originally opened in 1988, had been designed by Japanese professor Kinsaku Nakane. The garden's kabukimon-mode archway gate was built by Chris Hall of Massachusetts, using traditional Japanese carpentry techniques.[12] [xiii]

Collection [edit]

The Museum of Fine Arts possesses materials from a broad multifariousness of fine art movements and cultures. The museum as well maintains a large online database with information on over 346,000 items from its collection, accompanied with digitized images. Online search is freely available through the Cyberspace.[14]

Some highlights of the collection include:

The donors are also establishing a defended Netherlandish art center and scholarly establish at the museum.[xvi]

Japanese art [edit]

The collection of Japanese fine art at the Museum of Fine Arts is the largest in the world outside of Nippon. Anne Nishimura Morse, the William and Helen Pounds Senior Curator of Japanese Art, oversees 100,000 total items[20] that include 4,000 Japanese paintings, 5,000 ceramic pieces, and over 30,000 ukiyo-e prints.[21] [22]

The base of operations of this drove was assembled in the belatedly 19th century through the efforts of four men, Ernest Fenollosa, Kakuzo Okakura, William Sturgis Bigelow, and Edward Sylvester Morse, each of whom had spent time in Japan and admired Japanese art.[20] [23] Their combined donations business relationship for up to 75 percentage of the current collection.[xx] In 1890, the Museum of Fine Arts became the first museum in the U.s. to establish a collection and appoint a curator specifically for Japanese art.[21] [24]

Another notable part of this collection is a number of Buddhist statues. In the later Meiji era of Japan, effectually the turn of the 20th century, authorities policy deemphasizing Buddhism in favor of Shintoism and fiscal pressures on temples resulted in a number of Buddhist statues beingness sold to private collectors. Some of these statutes came into the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts.[25] [26] Today, these statues are the subject field of preservation and restoration efforts, which have been at times viewable by the public in special exhibits.[26] [27]

Also important for this collection is the exhibition of its items in Nihon. From 1999 to 2018, regular exchange of items was conducted between the Museum of Fine Arts and its sister museum, the now-closed Nagoya/Boston Museum of Fine Arts.[21] [28] In 2012, the traveling exhibition Japanese Masterpieces from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston visited the Japanese cities of Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka, and was well received.[20] [21] [29]

It is located off-site in Horticultural Hall, two stops away on the MBTA Green Line. The principal library is open up to the public, and the itemize can be searched online.[30]

Exhibitions organized by the library staff in coordination with the Schoolhouse of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts are opened two to three times per yr.[31]

CAMEO [edit]

The Conservation and Fine art Materials Encyclopedia Online, (CAMEO) is a database that "compiles, defines, and disseminates technical information on the distinct collection of terms, materials, and techniques used in the fields of fine art conservation and historic preservation".[32] CAMEO uses MediaWiki.[33]

[edit]

The MFA has gradually been expanding its programs of community outreach to people who have not been traditional visitors, and this tendency accelerated after Matthew Teitelbaum was appointed every bit Director in 2015. This expansion has included improved accessibility for visitors who may be visually, audibly, or physically impaired.[34] Special programming and tours are bachelor for blind, ASL-fluent, cognitively-impaired, autistic, and medically-assisted guests.[35] In add-on, the MFA has welcomed LGBTQ visitors with exhibitions like Gender Bending Fashion (2019), and in spring 2019 it installed universally welcoming signage for restrooms.[36]

Starting in July 2017, the MFA has offered a free i-year family membership to all newly naturalized US citizens under its "MFA Citizens" program.[37] [38]

The MFA publicly apologized[39] in May 2019 later on African-American and mixed-race 12- and xiii-year-former visitors were allegedly targeted by employees and told "No food, no drink, and no watermelon", which is considered a racial slur in the United states of america. A museum spokesperson said that the warning was really "no water bottles", but conceded that there was no mode of definitively proving what was actually said. Regardless, all museum staff dealing with school groups were to be retrained in interactions with their guests. The MFA likewise concluded that 2 of its members had been deliberately racist, and permanently banned them from visiting its grounds.[twoscore] [41] [42]

On October xiv, 2019, the MFA debuted its newly renamed "Indigenous Peoples' Day" (formerly "Columbus Mean solar day") celebrations, with a focus on Native American art and culture.[43] The events included special displays related to Cyrus Dallin's 1908 Appeal to the Swell Spirit, a popular and sometimes controversial sculpture of a Native American warrior located in front of the Huntington Avenue principal archway since 1912. Community comments and feedback concerning the awe-inspiring artwork were solicited and displayed.[43] Earlier, in March 2019, the MFA had held a special public symposium to discuss the historical groundwork and present-day significance of the iconic sculpture.[44]

As of 2020[update], the MFA offers eleven annual Community Celebrations, featuring free access for all visitors, and special events such as trip the light fantastic performances, music, tours, arts and crafts demonstrations, and hands-on art making.

In improver, on Midweek evenings, which are already complimentary from 4pm to 10pm, special celebrations of Nowruz, Juneteenth, Latinx Heritage Night, ASL Night, Diwali, and Hanukkah are featured.[45]

To commemorate its 150th anniversary, the MFA offered a costless one-year family membership to anyone attended one of its special Community Celebrations or MFA Late Nite programs during 2020. This "First Year Gratis Membership" programme was available to anyone who has non previously been a member of the museum.[46] The 150th year exhibitions included major shows and events featuring art by women and minority artists.[47] [48] [49]

In November 2020 a significant number of MFA employees voted to unionize due to a long history of unaddressed issues related to workplace conditions and compensation inequities.[50] The workers unionized with the local affiliate of the United Car Workers. Later on over 96% of the marriage agreed in a vote, MFA staff went on a strike for the commencement fourth dimension on November 17, 2021. Union representatives cited unresponsive engagement from MFA direction over multiple issues including brackish wages, job security, and workplace variety, every bit the reason for the strike.[51] The wedlock pointed out that employee wages had been frozen for 2 years, and that direction had so far only offered a 1.75% percent enhance over the course of 4 years. Spousal relationship representatives contrasted this with MFA manager Matthew Teitelbaum's salary which, clocking in at nigh i million USD, was well-nigh nineteen times larger than the boilerplate MFA worker.[52]
