Subject: Registration is now open for the ALDA/HLAA Accessible tour at the MFA on Saturday, September 21

Please join us for our upcoming tour “The MFA and Boston Collectors: 19th Century to Mid 20th Century Paintings.”  “The MFA has been fortunate to have many collectors and donors of a wide range of objects over its 149 years. We will focus on an early group of collectors and explore the why, what and where of their collections. As we visit these objects, we’ll understand the impact of these collectors on the American and European permanent collections. It’s an exciting facet of the MFA’s history and growth to the world-renowned museum we have today.”

1.  To register, email Ronit Michom at RMinchom@mfa.org or call 617-369-3189.
