New From the Museum of Fine Arts

Over the years the MFA has produced many excellent catalogs of their exhibits such as Monet in the 20th Century, "Published on the occasion of the exhibition held at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Sept. 20-Dec. 27, 1998," [759.4 MON]. Now, however, the MFA is venturing into cyberspace with an online catalog Paintings of the Americas.

Paintings of the Americas in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston is the MFA’s first online catalogue dedicated to a specific area of the collection. It offers the rich information one might find in a printed catalogue while taking advantage of digital media’s unique capabilities.

The eleven chapters cover art from "New England Begins" through to contemporary art of "The Realist Tradition." It you can't make down to Boston to visit the MFA, then this catalog is next best thing!

If you travel, remember that the Library has a pass to the MFA made possible by the Friends of the Library of Windham (FLOW). You can book it online or give the Library a call at 432-7154.
