Kay Nielsen at the MFA

There is an exhibition of the Danish illustrator and artist’s work that only contains forty-six items. It is a private collection promised to the Museum. Nielsen illustrated fairy tales in the early part of the 20th century. His appeal to young people has shown a revival in recent decades. This small show is getting a lot of buzz and you can see it for free on Wednesday’s after 4 pm. It is also free for some but not all local college students with an ID. The exhibit will be there until January 2020. The Karl Lagerfeld handbag inspired by Nielsen is a highlight.
