50 Years of Collecting

January 11 to March 30, 2024

One of the primary missions of MoFA is to collect and preserve artworks for the study and enjoyment of current and future patrons. This exhibition, which includes a very small selection of the over 7000 works in the care of the museum, celebrates five decades of collecting and illustrates the deep connections members of our community have to these objects. Like so many vital resources on our campus, the collections at MoFA are enriched through donors, alumni, faculty, and students. As you engage with this eclectic selection, we invite you to consider the things you choose to collect, your connections to these artworks, and what work you would preserve for the future.
