Bringing together works from across the Americas, we are planning > to integrate our extraordinary collections of Native and non-Native, North, > South, Central America and the Caribbean for the first time. The displays > will offer visitors a range of stories and experiences, and explore the role > of 18th-century artists in fostering ideas about nationhood and identity, > while also making connections to our current times. > > As we look ahead to the new galleries—which will be unveiled at the MFA’s > 2026 Juneteenth open house, kicking off a two-day “America at 250” > celebration—be sure to tune in to GBH’s “The Culture Show” for monthly > conversations with MFA curators and contemporary artists as they highlight > key works from our collection.
