Imagine the Unimagined - MassArt Art Museum Lisa Tung, Executive Director of MAAM

Opening in February 2020, the MassArt Art Museum (MAAM) was a 10-year dream in the making. A Strategic Vision Plan became a roadmap for the reimagining. The renovation transformed the unimproved library of a 1906 teacher's college into a state-of-the-art museum. The museum also underwent a comprehensive rebranding befitting a teaching museum at a public art and design college.Lisa will be giving us an insider's tour of Boston’s newest -- and highly acclaimed -- contemporary art museum. We can’t wait!
