New York's Museum of Biblical Art (MOBIA) will close its doors this summer, after operating for a decade. The institution's current Donatello exhibition will remain on view through June 14, as planned, but MOBIA will cease operations on June 30, 2015, the museum announced today.
"Sculpture in the Age of Donatello: Renaissance Masterpieces From Florence Cathedral," which features 25 pieces from the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo, many of which had never before left Italy, has been a blockbuster by the small museum's standards. Since opening in mid-February, the show has very nearly surpassed MOBIA's all-time high for annual attendance with 20,000 visitors.
