	Museum of Fine Arts, Boston - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts, is one of the largest museums in the United States.
		The Museum was founded in 1870 and opened in 1876, with a large portion of its collection taken from the Boston Athenaeum Art Gallery.
		The museum's present site was commenced in 1907 when museum trustees hired architect Guy Lowell to create a master plan for a museum that could be built in stages as funding was obtained for each phase.

	Art in America: Boston MFA Opens Nagoya Outpost - Boston Museum of Fine Arts opens branch in Japan
		When the letter of intent was signed, Boston was desperately seeking solutions to budgetary problems that have now eased thanks to rigorous cost-cutting and aggressive fund-raising, and Nagoya was riding the crest of the Japanese economy, which subsequently went into free-fall.
		The museum contains some 15,070 square feet of gallery space, slightly more than the space occupied by the recent "Monet in the 20th Century" show in Boston and a small fraction of the 112,000 square feet of Bilbao's galleries.
		Also questionable is whether the Boston public should be so long deprived of 223 works from their Greek, Roman and Egyptian collections, including dozens of major pieces that had been on public display.

	The Boston Museum of 'Fine Arts'? (Aristos, April 2005)
		Plainly, this was not useful information from the museum but a sampling of the Truisms [more] [more] of Jenny Holzer--the American "conceptual artist" whose considerable reputation in the postmodernist artworld has been based on nothing more than displays of empty platitudes of this kind in various media in public spaces at home and abroad.
		And as we were leaving the museum, I was struck by a superb little painting I was sure I had never seen before, an exquisitely tender Holy Family by Gerard David, one of the leading Flemish artists of the early fifteenth century.
		I cite these works from previous centuries to provide a context in which to gauge what passes for art in the museum's contemporary holdings and exhibitions (as well as for the pleasure they may give readers).
