"We're incredibly grateful to Hansjörg Wyss and his foundation for their generosity," outgoing MFA director Matthew Teitelbaum said in a statement. "Hansjörg's late wife, Rosamund, frequented the MFA as a child and throughout her life—it was for her, as for many of us, a place of learning and wonder."
The gallery renovations will be designed by the Boston-based firm Annum Architects. A new sculpture gallery linking the modern and contemporary galleries—featuring works by artists like Jean Arp, Louise Bourgeois, Alberto Giacometti, Simone Leigh, Pablo Picasso and Kiki Smith—is scheduled to open next spring.
The MFA has posted a job listing for the second position, the modern and contemporary art department's new conservator, with a yearly salary of between $81,000 and $90,000 and an application deadline of 15 June 2025.
The revamp will create four new galleries and more than 5,000 sq. ft of extra space for the MFA's 20th-century art collection.
