Since 1876, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, has been educating artists by providing them with the respect and freedom they need to develop.

At the Museum School, you’ll find exceptional teachers who are expert mentors—all of them working artists. You’ll find cutting-edge art-making; enviable relationships with Tufts and Northeastern universities and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; and an extraordinary heritage of launching great artists.

Each of our eight programs of study has its own emphasis, but each resounds with the intensity that comes from the exploration of ideas by a community of nearly 1,000 artists.
