Art of the Japanese Postcard
During the first decades of the twentieth century, the new medium of the postcard quickly replaced the traditional woodblock print as the favored tableau for contemporary Japanese images.
Technical Drawings
Technical drawings provide detailed information and measurements for selected instruments in the Museum's collection, allowing scholars to better understand their construction and artisans an opportunity to create reproductions of them.
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.
