MFA: Current Exhibitions

Being a Berklee student definitely has its advantages. Not only do we get to attend concerts at the Boston Symphony Orchestra for FREE, but we also get free admission to the Museum of Fine Arts!!

A trip to the MFA never disappoints, and the exhibitions are always changing. Simply show your Berklee Student ID at the front & you'll be issued a ticket.

Taking time to spice up your routine and do fun things that stimulate your mind improve your mental and emotional health tremendously. Art, as we know, comes in all shapes and sizes, and every artist behind the piece has a message or a feeling they try to convey. The entertainment comes in deciphering what that message is.

Every piece of art has the ability to touch us differently every time we experience it. The easiest way to find inspiration in your own work is to surround yourself by other inspiring and meaningful works. It may sound like a cliche, but we truly are products of our environments. Give a gift to yourself and surround yourself in beauty pure human creativity.
