The Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) in Boston, Massachusetts, is one of the largest art museums in the United States. It was founded in 1870 and contains more than 500,000 works of art, including paintings, sculptures, decorative arts, and photographs from around the world.

The MFA's collection includes works from many periods and cultures, including ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman, European, American, Asian, and Islamic art. Some of the most famous works in the collection include John Singer Sargent's "The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit," Vincent van Gogh's "Postman Joseph Roulin," and Claude Monet's "La Japonaise."

In addition to its permanent collection, the museum hosts a variety of temporary exhibitions throughout the year, showcasing works by contemporary artists as well as historic pieces from the museum's collection. The MFA also offers a range of educational programs for visitors of all ages, including tours, lectures, and workshops.

The museum's campus encompasses several buildings, including the original 1909 building, designed by architect Guy Lowell, as well as newer wings and additions. The MFA's most recent expansion, completed in 2010, added new gallery space and improved the museum's public areas.
