MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS

BOSTON

INCORPORATED FEBRUARY 4, 1870.

A permanent public exhibition of original works of the art of Egypt, Greece, Rome, the Orient, and modern Europe and America, supplemented by reproductions of others. Supported wholly by private gifts, and managed by a Board of Trustees including representatives of Harvard University, the Boston Athenæum, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the City and the State, with the cooperation of a responsible staff. Visitors, over 250,000 annually.

A public museum of fine art offers to the whole people an unfailing source of happiness, enlightenment, and edification. It is especially the privilege of wealth to aid in developing this beneficent work. The constant exhibition of an unchanged collection demands no large outlay on the part of a museum; but to be worthy of its opportunity, such an institution should both add to its contents and actively contribute to their public comprehension. Chances not likely to recur for the acquisition of important objects present themselves constantly: the work of publishing and explaining the collections demands highly-trained assistance. Directly in the measure, therefore, of the funds put at its command by donation or bequest, the Museum can both widen and deepen its influence.

The legal title is "Museum of Fine Arts." Names of givers are permanently attached to objects purchased with their gifts.
