Curators Circles: Photography

One of the earliest museums in the country to collect photography, the MFA continues to expand its collection in exciting ways. Through lively behind-the-scenes programs and intimate conversations, deepen your connections with our photography collection and curators, as well as contemporary photographers and outside scholars. View works up close while meeting fellow enthusiasts and collectors. Your membership supports significant photography acquisitions.

Annual membership is $1,500.*
