The McMullen Museum of Art at Boston College organizes and presents innovative, multidisciplinary exhibitions that have received national and international recognition, attracting audiences from the Boston area and beyond. Stephen Kinzer of the New York Times has written that, the McMullen is in the vanguard of museums creating exhibitions that “reach far beyond traditional art history” providing political, historical, and cultural context for works on view. The McMullen plans to expand its exhibition space, collections, and research initiatives to enhance its tradition of playing a major role in the cultural and intellectual life of the University, as well as the international community of art scholars and enthusiasts.
