The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston announced that it is setting up a $500,000 fund for diversity initiatives. The attorney general of Massachusetts also said that the museum had agreed to do more to support artists and young people of colour. The move comes a year after a school group complained of being racially harassed by a guard and two visitors. The museum’s director, Matthew Teitelbaum, said "There’s nothing more important to us than making sure everyone feels welcome at the MFA."
