I believe they said the Boston Museum of Fine Arts had the largest collection of Monet paintings outside the Louvre and they are wonderful. The Renoir paintings were even better. The colors were more vibrant and the paintings much more alive than I imagined from pictures. Don't miss it! more

This museum can be done without overtiring yourself, as I did in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. I really enjoyed the Picture Gallery with Views of Modern Rome by Pannini, Venice by Canaletto. There was also Dance at Bougival by Renoir and the Seventh Plague of Egypt by John Martin as well as a paintings by El... more

It took me a couple of days to find out how to get there, but it was well worth the effort (red trolley went right there). Superior, and I live in Chicago! Even the gift shop was huge and varied. Great food and service. more

The MFA is a fantastic museum with varied collections and a very peaceful environment. I went twice on the weekend and never felt it overcrowded. Depending what you're looking for the exhibits are amazing! The museum is also located in great neighborhood and just walking around outside on a sunny day is relaxing. Keep in mind the museum is currently... more

I absolutely love the MFA, my school is right around there and its pretty affordable, It is kind of boring sometimes but I absolutely love the contemporary exhibit. I also enjoyed the more classic paintings from the 18th century. I love the MFA! more

The Fine Arts Museum in Boston has such a large and varied collection, it will take you almost a full day to see it all, however you do get another ticket to re-visit within about a week, so if you are a fine art fan, you will have plenty of time. We didn't see the specific exhibit currently there, but... more

We went late in the day but had about 2.5 hours until closing. Enjoyed the american collection. I like the old portraits. Problems were the indifferent acting staff, the construction and the fact that they closed part of the museum for a private event before closing time. Unfortunately we didn't know that and saved those gallerys until last. Had we... more

I visited the Fine arts museum the last week in May and I found it very much worth the time and money. I paid $23 for admission to the muesum and for the El Greco exhibit. Since I paid extra for El greco I went thru that exhibit first. El Greco gallery was very exquisit and interesting, I thought it... more
