Malcolm Rogers, director of the Museum of Fine Arts, announced his plans to retire yesterday after nearly 20 years with the museum.
Appointed in 1994, Rogers helped to open the Art of the Americas Wing in 2010, which features 53 galleries and the glass-enclosed Shapiro Family Courtyard. He was also focused on "opening doors" to communities around Boston, eliminating admission fees for children and extending the museum's hours, the museum said in a statement.
In May, Rogers became the longest- serving director in the MFA's 144-year history, bringing "innovative exhibitions," and expanding the museum's "encyclopedic collection," as well as expanding arts education and community outreach programs, and renovating the landmark building, the museum said.
"Malcolm's accomplishments over two decades have touched every aspect of the MFA — he has transformed the museum. He will forever be a part of the foundation of this museum and of an arts and culture renaissance in Boston," said MFA trustees chairwoman Grace Fey. "As we prepare to search for his successor, we will strive to build upon his legacy of community enrichment and global engagement — cultivating the future growth and evolution of this world-class museum and its collections."
The museum will celebrate Rogers' 20th anniversary this fall with a series of events. He will remain as director until a successor is chosen.
