Who Truly Belongs at the MFA

Who Truly Belongs at the MFA

Published 3 days, 18 hours ago
Description

A group turns the Museum of Fine Arts into a protest tour, using its architecture and layout to expose who’s prioritized—and who’s sidelined—after 33 staff layoffs sparked outrage. From basement Native American galleries to airy European halls, every space reveals institutional bias. Participants question why Islamic art galleries push visitors through, and why seating and signage subtly exclude. When guards label them protesters and threaten police, the group argues they’re on a sanctioned tour—only to be told third-party tours aren’t allowed. The museum’s “Here All Belong” slogan rings hollow as participants confront whether marginalized voices truly belong inside its walls.
