Malcolm Austin Rogers, CBE (born 1948 in Yorkshire) is a British art historian and museum administrator who served as the inaugural Ann and Graham Gund Director of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts, from 1994 through 2015, the longest serving director in the institution's 150-year history.[1] In this role, Rogers raised the status of the museum locally, nationally, and internationally, and brought both extensive popularity and occasional controversy to the museum.
During his tenure, Rogers established a legacy of "opening doors" to the Boston community and audiences across the globe. He expanded the museum's encyclopedic collection and scholarship about it, mounted diverse and innovative exhibitions in MFA galleries and abroad, enhanced arts education and community outreach programs, and renovated and expanded the museum's historic building.
