Dive into the MFA’s collections through Curators Circles!

An exclusive benefit of elevated membership, Curators Circles provide a special opportunity for Advocates, Patrons, and Museum Council Fellows and Patrons to take a deeper dive into the Museum’s collections. Membership offers collection-focused programming, relationship building with curators and like-minded supporters in behind-the-scenes settings, and an optional opportunity to travel as a group each year (not available for the 2021–22 season).

Contributions from every Curators Circles membership provide vital operating funds for the respective departments, curators, and/ or programs. The annual contribution to join a Curators Circle is $1,500, which entitles two people to four unique curator-led events and one combined event for all Curators Circles members. Curators Circles events for the first half of the 2021–22 season are virtual. We look forward resuming in-person events at the Museum in early 2022.

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

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

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!
