Curators Circles: Jasmine Society

Expand your understanding of art from across South and Southeast Asia and the Islamic world. The MFA’s preeminent collection represents the diverse cultures of South and Southeast Asia, from the arts of the Indus Valley to Agra and Angkor Wat. One of the most comprehensive in the country, our Islamic art collection embraces both sacred and secular works by artists in regions under Muslim rule, as well as art by Muslims globally.

MFA curators are your personal guides to these vibrant artistic traditions, offering behind-the-scenes tours, unique access to MFA collections, and travel opportunities that open doors to art, experts, collectors, and artists. Your membership supports our ambitious area, enabling acquisitions, exhibitions, and global collaborations.

Annual membership is $1,500.*
