Group Visits

Please note that select galleries are closed for renovation and individual works may be unavailable.

MFA Ambassadors

The MFA Ambassador Program is an opportunity open to work-study eligible students at participating universities. Ambassadors provide on-the-spot customer service to MFA visitors throughout the building. They help visitors plan and navigate the Museum and offer guidance and interpretation. Positions begin in the fall semester and require a year-long commitment. For more information, please see MFA Ambassador Program or contact Blair Dowd (617-369-4058).
