After moving locations a plethora of times and eventually settling into a mansion on Pearl Street, the Athenaeum added an art gallery alongside its massive literary collection in 1827, and began putting on yearly exhibitions of both European and American art. By the time its location on Beacon Hill opened in 1849, where the Athenaeum still resides, a full painting gallery was opened on the third floor where Boston residents could bear witness to masterpieces by great Flemish masters like Peter Paul Rubens or iconic American portraits by Gilbert Stuart.

After about five years of construction, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) opened its doors in Copley Square in 1876.
