Rathbone (July 3, 1911-Jan. 15th, 2000) was one of the leading American art museum directors of the 20th century. As director of the St. Louis Art Museum from 1940 1955, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston from 1955 1972, he transformed these institutions.to vibrant cultural centers. Known for his sensitive installations.he increased the membership and attendance figures of both institutions exponentially, and also added significant works to their permanent collections across the board. Rathbone was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania on July 3, 1911.Perry entered Harvard College as a freshman in the fall of 1929 with the class of 1933. At Harvard he majored in art history and went on to take the graduate course with Professor Paul Sachs called "Museum Work and Museum Problems, " which was responsible for training the first generation of museum professionals in America.
