The inventive floral interpretations respond to works in the collection and to entire galleries and spaces.  Art in Bloom has become one of the Museum’s most popular spring traditions.

The flowers go on view to the general public on Friday, March 2, and will remain up through Tuesday, March 6.  The designers will refresh their creations throughout the exhibition.  The MFA Cafe will serve a special dish with a floral theme each day from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.
