Museum of Fine Arts Feeling for Form Tour

The Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) will be hosting an in-person Feeling for Form Tour of the exhibition Witnessing Humanity: The Art of John Wilson on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, at 1.30 P.M. when the exhibition will be closed to the public. Born in Roxbury, Massachusetts, John Wilson (1922–2015) is one of Boston’s most esteemed artists. His work, made over the span of 60 years, continues to resonate with the persistent realities of disenfranchisement, racial prejudice, and social injustice. Featuring approximately 110 works by the artist in a wide range of media - prints, drawings, paintings, sculpture, and illustrated books - the exhibition explores the many ways Wilson called attention to racial, social, and economic injustices through his art.

The MFA is closed to visitors on Tuesdays so you will only be able to stay at the museum for the duration of the tour. No food or retail outlets will be open. The tour will be multisensory and include touching sculpture by John Wilson.

Please register for the tour by emailing access@mfa.org. Space is limited.
