Join curators for a behind-the-scenes preview of recent acquisitions to our collection, including a contemporary bust of George Washington, the MFA’s first portrait of a colonial Latin American woman, and an elaborately painted 17-foot biombo, or Mexican folding screen. Curators share details about these works and their strategies to build and broaden the collection as they reimagine our 18th-century galleries on the first floor of the Art of the Americas.
