Museum of Fine Arts
Gallery showcasing masterpieces
Museum of Fine Arts is the generic name adopted by many art museums, particularly in the United States.
The most prominent is Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, often abbreviated MFA.
Without additional context, the phrase may refer to any institution using this name: We spent the afternoon at the Museum of Fine Arts.
The generic title signals a collection spanning multiple periods and media rather than specializing in one.
