When the museum underwent renovations in the 1980s and early 2000s, the Phillips toured its cherished masterpieces at home and abroad in Asia, Australia, and Europe. In 2006, the Phillips’s European Masterworks exhibition returned home after a world tour that was seen by over two million people. To See as Artists See: American Art from The Phillips Collection featured nearly 100 works that traveled to Europe and Asia before visiting US venues, and made its grand homecoming in spring 2014. Major European and American artwork tours have been traveling the world since 2016.
