I am endeavoring to make significant improvements to this page. I have added an infobox, articles on the branch museum in Nagoya and director Malcolm Rogers, and will proceed to translate the copious information on the German-language version of this article. Cjs2111 06:33, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
Wonderful that someone has been smart enough to have created this section. These are often the folks who do the heavy lifting behind the scenes. Bravo. MarmadukePercy ( talk) 01:54, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
Who owns the MFA & collections? Are they municipal? Private, like the Metropolitan? Public/private partnership? I wuold love for someone to clarify this. Albiart ( talk) 16:29, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
I think we should add a section about this robbery: https://www.nytimes.com/1975/04/15/archives/early-portrait-by-rembrandt-stolen-in-armed-robbery-at-boston-fine.html SSR07 ( talk) 22:14, 16 October 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by SSR07 ( talk • contribs) 21:32, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
The Community relations section reads like a list of a few unencyclopedic community programs interspersed with TripAdvisor-type complaints about poor service. Per WP:UNDUE and WP:NOT, most of this section does not fit the tenor of the topic. Cf. Art Institute of Chicago for an example that reads much better. — AjaxSmack 23:24, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
Regarding [ this diff], could @ Randy Kryn: please explain the rationale for keeping the photo in a section where it isn't discussed? The new location is directly alongside prose speaking to it. Elsewhere IMO it just appeared as decoration. I'm not sure why this would be a controversial move to any extent. Grk1011 ( talk) 14:48, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
