Curators Circles: Lotus Society

Enjoy exceptional access to the MFA’s collection of art and archeology from ancient Egypt, Nubia, and the Near East—acknowledged as among the finest in the world. Curators and outside experts provide behind-the-scenes experiences, and engage in intimate discussions on their research and discoveries. Meet and participate in dynamic conversations with fellow enthusiasts and scholars. Your membership supports curatorial research, educational programs, and acquisitions, among other department activities.

Annual membership is $1,500.*
