The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston is a globally recognized institution with a reputation for bringing decisive scholarship and illuminating curation to the public.

In the newly renovated jewelry gallery at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, delicate tiaras float in glass cases next to ornate brooches and avant-garde necklaces.
