In addition to the Museum’s robust programmatic offerings, opportunities abound for foundation support in our exhibition schedule. In recent years, the DMA has presented such ground-breaking exhibitions as Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs, J. M. W. Turner, Olafur Eliasson: Take Your Time, and African Masks: The Art of Disguise, to name a few. In our continual quest to ignite the power of art in each and every visitor, the DMA relies on partnerships with many foundations to produce each exhibition and corresponding programming for the community.
