Key Points:
- Lynch, a 1965 graduate of Boston College, said he donated the art to the McMullen Museum to inspire Boston College students and Museum visitors through the diverse collection of paintings and drawings from 20 of the worlds most acclaimed artists.
- I also wanted to enhance the McMullen Museums permanent collection through our donation and encourage others to follow.
- When we got married, Carolyn and I did not have money to purchase art, so the fine art collection came later.
- Giving this collection to Boston College is a small way for me to give back.
