Facts and practical information

The MFA was founded by art collector and philanthropist Margaret Acheson Stuart (1896–1980). As its first president, Mrs. Stuart contributed significantly to the construction of the building and provided endowment funds through her estate to support annual operations and to maintain the beauty of the grounds. She also provided monies to acquire art and donated works from her collection. The Margaret Acheson Stuart Society, the Museum's independent support organization, is named in her honor. ()
