Throughout the partnership, which has welcomed more than 4 million visitors to the N/BMFA since 1999, numerous exhibitions have brought Boston’s artistic treasures to Japan. To mark the anniversary, and celebrate the Museum’s historic relationship with Japan, the MFA has organized Millet, Barbizon and Fontainebleau, which is on view in Nagoya April 19–August 31, 2014. A highlight of the exhibition, Jean-François Millet’s masterpiece The Sower (1850), will travel to Japan along with a number of important works from the MFA’s renowned collection of French paintings from the mid-19th century.

    3.7 CULTURAL RESOURCES 3. 7 .1 Existing Conditions

    3.7 CULTURAL RESOURCES 3. 7 .1 Existing Conditions Information provided within the cultural resource overview of the Salton Sea Anomaly area has been obtained from: record search data (Imperial Valley College Museum and San Diego Museum of Man); survey/excavation reports (Rogers 1966; Mccown 1953-1957; Gallegos 1980); and personal communication (Gallegos 1981). A detailed cultural resource overview is located in Appendix 3. 7 of this report. The liter­ ature search survey encompasses a 111,444 acre (45,119 ha) study region. Moreover, approximately 54 percent of the study area is covered by the Salton Sea. The entire project area contains recorded evidence of historic and prehistoric occupation/land use. At various times in the prehistoric past the study region was covered by a large inter­ mittent body of water referred to as Lake Cahuilla. The anthropological implications of the former lake are outstanding. Lake Cahuilla created a rich environment for fish, shellfish, birds, mammals and man during the past 2000 years. This data as pertains to the Salton Sea Anomaly area is best preserved along the relict 40-foot MSL (12 m) shoreline. The studies of Malcolm Rogers and B.E. Mccowan stand out as being the most interesting for the amount and kinds of materials encountered. Radiocarbon dates identify these areas as post AD 1400. Sites contain .a range of materials, including midden, bone, shell, pottery, lithics, milling tools and charcoal. Rogers reports one resource located within the study area as a four-mile long occupation site. During the J past four decades much has passed to change the character of cultural resources along the relict shoreline; natural agencies, gravel quarries, water conveyances and access roads, plus recreational activities have all disturbed a large share of archaeological sites.
  • Propaganda Found in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts

    Propaganda Found in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts

    RIVIER ACADEMIC JOURNAL, VOLUME 3, NUMBER 2, FALL 2007 PROPAGANDA FOUND IN THE MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS, BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS Christina Caruso* Undergraduate Student, B.A. in Communications Program, Rivier College In today’s society, propaganda is visible in every direction we turn. It floods the television, Internet and radio. It is disseminated through the government, opinion leaders, and our friends. It is hard to determine the difference between propaganda and persuasion; however, there is a fine line between the two. I pose the question: Is it typical for an art museum to employ propaganda? This could be the case with the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts. Through a discussion of propaganda and its features, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts will be analyzed to prove if propaganda is present in their architecture and the way it is guided by its current director, Malcolm Rogers. And, even if propagandistic, is the museum sticking to their mission statement which is to “[house] and [preserve] preeminent collections and [aspire] to serve a wide variety of people through direct encounters with works of art” (mfa.org). This paper will discuss what propaganda is, and if the MFA Boston is trying to employ propaganda. The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts, is one of the largest museums in the United States. The original museum was founded in 1870 and was located in a Gothic Revival building on Copley Square, in the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston. It moved to its current location on Huntington Avenue, in 1909. It is a significantly imposing structure, with its modern, yet Romanesque concrete columns located and facing the colleges, businesses and residences in the surrounding areas.
