Curators Circles

Dive into the MFA’s collections through Curators Circles!

An exclusive benefit of elevated membership, Curators Circles provide a special opportunity for Patrons, Museum Council Fellows, and Advocates to take a deeper dive into the Museum’s collections through collection-focused programming, and relationship building with curators and fellow enthusiasts in behind-the-scenes settings.

Curators Circles members provide vital funding for the respective departments and curators in support of their goals and ambitions, including research, travel, acquisitions, and exhibitions.

The annual contribution to join a Curators Circle is $1,500, which entitles two people to three unique curator-led events, one combined event for all Curators Circles members, and an optional travel opportunity.

As a benefit of elevated membership, current members of the following programs are invited to join:

• All members of the Patron Program
• Museum Council Fellows
• Advocates

By participating in Curators Circles, you will have a unique opportunity to play an active role in the future of the MFA. We hope you will consider joining us this season!
