The MFA welcomes students and faculty of Boston-area colleges and universities. College Night, a special event held once a year, invites students to become acquainted with each other and with the Museum. Students interested in exploring the Museum in more depth can apply for internships or the MFA Ambassador program. The University Membership program provides the widest access to the MFA, including free admission with student ID.

Groups

All faculty bringing classes to the Museum should book in advance. For more information or to make reservations online, visit Groups. Faculty are admitted free of charge with scheduled groups from our University Members.

Search under Collections to check the availability of any specific work. Contact Member and Visitor Services for current information on gallery closings. Please note that because of continued construction for the Building Project, some galleries are closed and individual works may be unavailable. View a list of department contacts.

University Membership

University Membership grants full-time undergraduate students (unless otherwise noted) free admission to the Museum with a valid student ID. Learn more and see participating institutions.

College Night

College Night—a free event featuring live music, food, and of course, art—is a great opportunity for undergrads to meet and mingle while exploring the Museum. Don't miss next year's College Night in September 2012! (If you're curious about the fun we had last year, check out College Night 2011).

MFA Ambassadors

The MFA Ambassador Program is a new 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 contact Katherine Irving (617-369-4058) or Linton Young (617-369-4312).

Made possible by the Susan and Digger Donahue Fund for the Ambassador Program and the Elisabeth K. Davis Communication Fund.

Internships

The Museum offers a number of unpaid internships. For more information and application instructions, see Internships.
