Empty MFA

November 13, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Last week I was fortunate enough to be invited along with a handful of other photographers to shoot the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston before it opened. This was a dream come true. I’m at the MFA a few times a week anyway but to see it totally empty in the early morning light was incredible. The museum is celebrating the 5th anniversary of the Art of the Americas wing and these photographs are in celebration of that.

You can see more of my photos on my Instagram here, and shots from the other photographers under the hashtag #emptyMFA.

Photos are mine.

    Your Grandfather would say, “what do you see Celinita?” What a gift you have, to capture emotion, Papi would be so proud of who you have become!
