The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston opened its new Art of the Americas wing last week. Which is good news for any fan of Harriet Hosmer, because Hosmer’s Sleeping Faun is now once again on display, in the Penny and Jeff Vinik Gallery. It was donated to the museum by Cornelia Crow Carr, Hosmer’s life-long friend, in 1912. You can see an interview, and some good footage of the collections, with the museum’s director here. I can’t wait to visit.
