Building the New MFA: A Refresher The MFA's Building Project is transforming the way visitors interact with great works of art from the moment they enter the Museum. We've designed new spaces that encourage interactions between art and people, from displays and exhibitions to the educational, film, and concert programs that are hallmarks of the MFA. For a virtual tour through the "new" Museum, watch our 5-minute digital presentation, "Building the New MFA."
