McMullen Museum of Art

McMullen Museum of Art is an art museum on the Brighton Campus of Boston College with multiple exhibition spaces and rotating displays. The collection includes works from American, European, and contemporary periods across different media and styles.

The museum was founded in 1993 and became a center for artistic research and public education at Boston College. Its creation was part of the college's effort to support the arts within an academic setting.

The museum displays works from multiple artists and connects different artistic traditions across time and culture. Visitors can see how artistic expression changes and relates across different periods and regions.

The museum is easily accessible from the campus and provides sufficient space to view the artworks without crowding. Visitors should plan a few hours to explore the various exhibition spaces at their own pace.

The museum houses the remarkable Carolyn A. and Peter S. Lynch Collection, an extensive private collection that has been made accessible to the public. This collection forms the core of the permanent displays and reflects the taste and knowledge of individual collectors.
