A piece of land, a tranquil retreat, a well-ordered landscape, a place requiring diligent cultivation: gardens can evoke a multitude of associations, especially in the realm of art. The exhibition "Framed Nature: Gardens and Imagination" brings together artworks from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston's global collection to explore the similarities and differences of gardens across different eras and regions. Visitors can appreciate beloved classics as well as masterpieces never before publicly exhibited. All works revolve around the theme of the garden, showcasing its essence as a fertile ground for human creativity and imagination. From monumental tapestries to intricately detailed Chinese scroll paintings, a variety of artworks create illusions of garden spaces. Modern and contemporary prints, drawings, photographs, and paintings immerse visitors in a rich tapestry of the artificial and the natural world. Visitors can reflect on how we connect with the outdoors, how we shape garden spaces through cultivation, care, and labor, and how we express this universal human emotion through art. The "Frame Nature" exhibition coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston's "Blooming Arts Festival"—a beloved annual spring tradition at the museum.

The ubiquity of camera phones today has very much made all the world a stage. In the modern city, photographers are now less concerned with surreptitiously capturing an image and much more likely to collaborate with their subjects in the street. Drawn to photography's narrative potential, many employ the camera as a tool of transformation, taking everyday pictures from the ordinary to the strangely beautiful or even ominous.

In the 17th century, Jews played a vital role in the burgeoning visual culture of the Dutch Republic—they were patrons of the arts, collectors, and subjects of artistic creation, particularly evident in the works of Rembrandt van Rhein (1606–1669) and his circle. Rembrandt, residing in the heart of Amsterdam's Jewish Quarter, accepted commissions from his Jewish neighbors to incorporate them into biblical scenes and depict them in figure drawings. This exhibition, a collaboration between the Dutch Art Centre at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and a seminar for undergraduate and graduate students at Boston University, explores the diverse ways in which Jews interacted with Dutch art and culture in the 17th century, utilizing the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston's collection of Dutch art and Jewish artifacts. From paintings and prints by Rembrandt and his school to one of the oldest surviving Dutch silver rimonim (torah scroll crown), the exhibits highlight the visibility and autonomy of Jews within the religiously diverse Dutch Republic. This is the fifth in a series of collaborative exhibitions between CNA and its academic partners. These exhibitions utilize the museum's extensive collection of Dutch and Flemish art in novel and unique ways to present fresh perspectives and diverse voices, while showcasing interdisciplinary academic achievements. Previous exhibitions include: "The Modern Art Market" (November 2021 – October 2022); "Micheline Votier and the Five Senses: Innovation in 17th-Century Flemish Painting" (November 12, 2022 – November 5, 2023); "Thinking on a Small Scale: Scales in Dutch Art" (November 18, 2023 – December 8, 2024); and "Youth Curating: Death Is Always There" (December 21, 2024 – November 30, 2025).
