About the MFA
The original MFA was founded in 1870 and opened its doors to the public on July 4, 1876, the nation's centennial. Built in Copley Square, the MFA was then home to 5,600 works of art. Over the next several years, the collection and number of visitors grew exponentially, and in 1909 the Museum moved to its current home on Huntington Avenue.
There are many ways to make a planned gift to the MFA to fit your family, finances, and charitable legacy. A bequest from your will or trust is among the simplest and most common ways to give.
