November 1909 the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston inaugurated its second home, in a grand neoclassical-style building, and premiered innovative exhibition designs based on research in European museums. Henry Clay Frick soon displayed fifty of his paintings in the museum’s Old Masters gallery – the only occasion in his lifetime that he would lend such an expansive selection of paintings from his collection to a civic museum. Archival discoveries offer a reconstruction of the historic moment that brought together the new Boston museum, Frick’s paintings and an engaged public, shaping Frick’s vision of his collection’s legacy.

亨利克莱弗里克和波士顿美术博物馆：1910 年的轰动一时的展览

1909 年 11 月，波士顿美术博物馆在一座宏伟的新古典主义风格建筑中开设了第二个家，并首次展示了基于欧洲博物馆研究的创新展览设计。亨利·克莱·弗里克 (Henry Clay Frick) 很快在博物馆的古典大师画廊展出了他的 50 幅画作——这是他一生中唯一一次将他收藏的如此广泛的画作借给市民博物馆。档案发现重建了将新波士顿博物馆、弗里克的画作和参与其中的公众聚集在一起的历史性时刻，塑造了弗里克对其收藏遗产的看法。
