    In The Spotlight

    Artists Rendering of new Shapiro Courtyard at the MFA

    The Ruth and Carl J. Shapiro Family Courtyard is a central component of the new American Wing building at the Museum of Fine Arts. The Courtyard will provide a dramatic light-filled public space for year-round use.

    “In 1948, Carl and Ruth Shapiro gave $10 to the Brandeis Campaign, which must have been a lot of money for them at that time. The Shapiros have been involved with Brandeis since the beginning…just a remarkable story that relates to the history of the school.”
    -Jehuda Reinharz
    President, Brandeis University, 1994-2011
