This museum is really one of the best in Boston. Youll get to see an amazing collection of art from all over the world. You could spend hours and hours in this museum. There is a very pretty and bright atrium that is perfect to stop for lunch or coffee while exploring. All in all, my experience was great here, especially if youre interested to history.

I havent been to the Museum of Fine Arts since I was a kid (which was a long time ago) and I enjoyed it thoroughly! They have renovated and expanded the museum quite a bit since I was there and I was impressed. The art is so beautiful and I love how they separate the art by American, European, Ancient art etc. They even have a nice little restaurant that offers salads, sandwiches, steaks and adult beverages in what used to be the outdoor courtyard prior to the renovation. The food was good but a bit pricey. They also have a full service restaurant as well. There was only one part of the museum I didnt really care for which was the contemporary art section. I dont want to be insulting but I truly thought the contemporary art was not very good. I suppose art is subjective, so to each their own. I would like to have given the MFA a 4.9 out of 5 but Trip Advisor doesnt allow it. Definitely worth the trip.

Fantastic experience and felt safe visiting. The special exhibits are superb. Must reserve and tickets prior to visit. Highly recommend.

The Monet was wonderful. And fewer people meant we could take our time and really enjoy it. Also felt very safe

Perfect place to spend the day. I have been here many times and its always nice. The queue might look long, but it goes fairly fast. Nice exhibits, some interactive. The shop is rather expensive, but it is an art gallery. Nice winding layout. You will always find something new at the MFA.

Very clean and the exhibits from the Arts of America section were very insightful. The female exhibits were inspiring.

Went for the Writing the Future: Basquiat and the Hip-Hop Generation... Thoroughly impressed

Entry is $25. Parking is $20. Spent 2 hours here! Loved the different art pieces here ranging from European arts to Indo-Chinese arts! My favorite section is the Egyptian section; its just mystical and fascinating! Would recommend this wonderful place 100%

Your wonderful Flower Shop never disappoints us! I should strongly recommend your Shop here in my area!

I had an issue regarding tickets and I called the museum. A representative whose name is Cat helped me a lot. I cannot thank her enough. Shes such a wonderful person!

The MFA is beautiful. One of the best experiences in Boston. Could spend days here, truly.

I love comming to the museum, they have great distancing and clean protocol

Wonderful, world class collection. Interactive programs. Meander. Have a blast exploring. Very encouraging of artists sketching and creating. Excellent customer service and staff. Oh, and the murals of John Singer Sargent are extraordinary! I just got a membership because I know Im coming back!

MFA - one could live here and still be left craving for more of it. Great learning for kids and the adults alike at the museum.

I don’t usually visit museums, but the wife and I decided to give the MFA a shot on a recent trip and loved it. From the architecture of the building to the amazing sculptures and paintings from various cultures and times, we were quite entertained. It was too bad the Mummies exhibit was under renovation, but it gives us a reason to go back. The only thing that struck me was the lack of Central and South American art.

We went during Covid and felt extremely safe. The timed entry and precautions they took were well planned out. When we visited most of the museum was closed but we saw the American and European art galleries as well as a few other galleries. They said more of the museum will open in time so it’s a good reason to keep going back. We are glad it is open again.

The museum not bad .... they have enough artsBut when I went there they were closed half of the museum and probably the most important wingsAnd that’s really disappointed me

This is my favorite history and arts museum. . So many great exhibits and beautiful things to see. Often hang out here with the BF and we always have the best time. My favorite were the Egyptian exhibits but BF prefers the Monets.

Visited the Museum of Fine Arts during the Lunar New Year Celebration with free admission. The long line of several hundred people waiting to get in moved rather quickly. Inside it was very spacious and didnt seem crowded at all. The exhibits just go on and on! It can be a bit overwhelming so take your time.

Such a beautiful place! I highly recommend a visit here to take a look at all the different types of artwork. It’s absolutely mesmerizing.

Very interesting. I didn’t realize how the time passed. So beautiful like visiting different periods in history

This is one of my favourite museums now! They have a huge collection in almost every section. I loved the European arts and special exhibition section. Ofcourse Monet, Renoir paintings were one of the special attractions! I spent 7 hours in this museum and got a good gist of it! Try to go in first Friday of the month to get gifts from Chase and first Saturday of the week if you are bank of America credit card holder!

Great museum which offers a big variety of fine arts.

Definitely a must see if youre passing through Boston or a local and have an appreciation for art! It was beautiful curated!

Even during the pandemic, MFA is doing an excellent job at making sure people enjoy art safey.I enjoyed my time a lot!Thanks MFA

The Museum of fine arts is a must-visit spot for anyone visiting Boston. Such a huge collection and youre so much ground to cover that you would have to take several trips to see the whole place. The exhibitions are always changing and are well curated. Theres so much to discover from Asia, Africa, ancient modern to contemporary. I highly recommend the Museum of Fine Art.

Wow...this museum is mesmerizing. It is huge and has lots of history behind everything. Stunning...

This museum is massive! Me and my husband spent an entire day wandering around this place. They have a lot of Egyptian art works as well as some very famous artworks but current artists. We were both impressed but the cast amount of art.

Every great city has a great museum, Madrid, Paris, London, New York, Saint Petersburg ... Boston. Spectacular.

Huge collection of art covering everything from the Americas to Ancient worlds and everything in between your bound to find something that everyone in family likes. They have not just paintings but life size statues, furniture, model ships, music instruments and many more too much to list. Great place to go if looking forward something to do on a cold winter day or a rainy day. Most people tend to spend 3-4 hours here and since there is a lot its a place you can go on multiple days and still not see everything including the temporary exhibits. . They have both a cafe and a restaurant that you can eat at as well.

The Museum of Fine Arts was founded in 1870 and was initially located on the top floor of the Boston Athenaeum and most of its initial collection came from the Athenæums Art Gallery. Francis Davis Millet, a local artist, was instrumental in starting the Art School affiliated with the museum, and in appointing Emil Otto Grundmann as its first director. In 1876, the museum moved to a highly ornamented brick Gothic Revival building designed by John Hubbard Sturgis and Charles Brigham, noted for its massed architectural terracotta. It was located in Copley Square at Dartmouth and St. James Streets.[3] It was built almost entirely of brick and terracotta, which was imported from England, with some stone about its base. After the MFA moved out in 1907, this original building was demolished, and the Copley Plaza Hotel (now the Fairmont Copley Plaza) replaced it in 1912.Wikipedia

This place is very spacious and there are many different exhibits. The staff, however, was very rude. The staff required us to wait outside in the snow for over an hour before entering the museum. This is ridiculous especially when there is space to wait inside.

Entry is $25. Parking is $20. Spent 2 hours here! Loved the different art pieces here ranging from European arts to Indo-Chinese arts! My favorite section is the Egyptian section; its just mystical and fascinating! Would recommend this wonderful place 100%

Limited viewing, only of the Art of the Americas sections. Enjoyed the Women Take the Floor exhibit. Didnt see Basquiat. Felt very safe, social distancing and sanitizer throughout. Cafe is not open

Felt safe being there. Timed admissions keeps volume of people down. Many exhibits are closed.

This museum is incredible. The price may be a bit much at first, but once you step inside, youll see that it is more than worth it. There is food inside that is actually pretty decent, and there are a lot of fascinating exhibits that will keep you busy. In order to see 99 percent of the exhibits and such youll need to be here for around 5 hours. This place is ginormous. And that is an understatement. The more we explored this place, the bigger this museum seemed to get. It was huge and a bit overwhelming at times. Some people will come and will probably need to come back another day. I truly recommend this place.

This is the best museum! We use to come here every year for field trips in school and now I bring my kids.

A truly remarkable museum. The architecture, exhibits, and gardens were so unique and made for a great experience.I would recommend you take a few minutes to plan out your tour otherwise you can jump around exhibits very easily. Some exhibits are spread out among two to three floors.

Always a pleasure. Lovely experience and wonderful people running the operation.

Its too good and required almost full day to complete. Can not complete in two hours. We planned for two hours and ended up finishing half displays. Liked historic sections. Some really old restored videos are played out from Paris.

Absolutely incredible. Hall after hall of incredible paintings, small and humongous. The descriptions are well written, informative, and interesting. The artifacts from ancient civilizations are amazing to see and theres a great size collection of them. Itll most likely take more than one day to really see it all. I cant wait to go again.

HUGE! You need more than one day to get through all of the exhibits. We had lunch in the cafeteria. Being gluten free, it was not easy to find a meal but there were plenty of options for my gluten eating family members. Those with disabilities, including acrophobia, there are some challenges but there are so many elevators that it is possible to see pretty much everything.

One of my favorite places in Boston to visit by far. Definitely should be on your Must Visit list if youre staying in Boston. They have an outdoor area with chairs and other sculptures where people can relax. There is some good people watching if you visit during their more busy weekdays. Its a very historical place and there are art period/curator quizzes in one part of the museum plus 3 floors full of art and sculptures. They have African, Asian, Native American, European, American, Indian, and contemporary art Im probably missing a few countries they have so much diversity. Its usually never packed so you get plenty of elbow room. Also the gift shop is nice to visit because of all the books and other trinkets. Only real downside is the 25$ entry fee but they have events where its free admission. Im currently a student at massart so I get unlimited free access and thats why I go so often. They also host movie nights and parties and though I dont have the money for tickets all those people look like theyre having a lot of fun. Its easy to spend many hours here just basking in the glory of all the classic art pieces there I personally find it relaxing.

This museum is really on of a kind. Youll get to see interesting masterpieces by meticulous artists. All in all, my experience was great here, especially if youre interested to history.

A visually stunning collection and example of some of the finest art and architecture the world has known. You will need more than one full day to see everything with enough time to admire each piece. The Ansel Adams exhibit is phenomenal!

One of the best museums I visited. The place is huge and one cannot cover it in one day - there is so much going on. MFA has great collection of art ranging from ancient times to contemporary art. We visited general collection, Hyman Bloom exhibition which was very interesting and took Highlight tour led by a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable docent. Museum has several cafeterias, great boutique, free coat check, plenty of tours and exhibitions. Highly recommend.

Limited opening of mostly just the Americas wing, but always worth a visit

Excellent collection of art, large space and a fun experience overall! I havent tried the cafe though.

One of my absolute favorite places to go on the weekends whenever I hear a new exhibit is popping up. They have a wide variety of art ranging from classical to early american to royal jewelry and historical handcrafted instruments.Another really cool offering at MFA is that they offer art classes. These included basic fashion illustration to watercolors and painting. Definitely take advantage of those as you get a solid amount of classes for the price. On top of that, buying the class includes admission to the all of the galleries in the museum so after class, you can really take advantage of that perk by sticking around and visiting an exhibit before leaving.Theres also night events with drinks if youre 21+ and those have pretty amazing works being displayed and showcased as well. Probably even better than whats regularly showcased in the museum because its limited to a certain schedule.

A wonderful visit to this treasure to explore. One day can be easily dedicated to this museum. Very much enjoyed all exhibitions. So special. Thank you for your dedicated work Museum of Fine Arts staff to help us learn about every culture and history.

I grew up in Boston and made sure to visit the MFA at least once every year or so. I live overseas now, and still find the time when I’m in Boston to visit this amazing museum. The museum has plenty of space to wander around and there’s something new to see each time I go. The gift shops are the perfect place to find a unique gift for someone special.

Highly recommended gallery!Here you can:1. Learn that the inventor of the Morse Code started his career as a quite recognized painter and see his work2. Experience amazing collection of portraits painted by John Sargent3. Explore exotic pre-Columbian American art - especially Mayan pieces4. See a model of Donald McKays record breaking Flying Cloud (and more ship models)5. And experience many other things I still hope to discover on the second visit, as during my first 3 hours there I managed to see only about 25% of the gallery

I went to the MFA in January 2020 and needless to say, I am waiting to return to the Museum to see what is in store for us! The interiors and the exhibits are a treat for curious eyes. Special mention of my tour guide - Carol who showed around the Museum in all its resplendent glory! She was patient, kind and super fun to walk around with. Waiting to return..

One of the best art museums I’ve been to!

I love this Place!I also play curator when I take my friends here. the art the artifacts the exhibits everything about this place is just so exciting. I cant wait to bring my youngest I bring my son and he loves it.They layout allows one to wander to the point of being lost and then having to find your way using the map provided.I have been to the Gift shop in years. But the food court is basic nothing Fancy. Unless... You go when they have special events.Love it!

Good time for a chill stroll and to respect the amazing intrigue of what ancient history, talented artists through the centuries, and modern creativity has given us in this world.

A world-class museum - as simple as that.

Simply the best MFA Boston, the Monet exhibition was outstanding amd beautiful.

Just seeing this bronze imagine staring into the sky tells you what you are about to experience. And you will not be disappointed. Inside is a doorway to the world.

It was very nice the Art was inspiring first time there very good

Went to a recent exhibit called ancient Nubia now. This is one of the most interesting exhibits I have seen at a museum ever, and probably the most individually interesting museum exhibit I have ever seen at the MFA. It feels like there must’ve been an incident, and I know there was but I don’t know if it directly led to this exhibit. Either way, the interesting and nuanced discussions of how our biases and prejudices regarding race affect how we interpret ancient artifacts and evidence was fascinating and very well done. There was another special exhibit upstairs about women artists that was not as fascinating but also very good. The women artists exhibition lacked the contextualization and the expert videos that the Nubia exhibit had.

Art in bloom is a wonderful annual event. I particularly like the flower arranging demonstrations. The exhibitions change frequently in the museum so there is usually something new to see along with the permanent favorites such as the green icicle in the courtyard.

We love visiting this museum. It’s our favorite in Boston!

That day wen I went TO Boston. My friend force me to visit this place but I was not at all interestedOmg when I went inside , these arts and crafts are really crazy and I end up taking one year passI really liked the way arrangement & the stuff which they collected which are from many yearsHere mainly loved to see African arts When you see Asian stuff ( indian ) arts will touch your Heart ️They also have very big dining hall in center of buildingThey don’t allow food Inside the arts area and you cannot even drink water======> Photo can be clickable but without flash

Beautiful place. We were there for a very short time with lots of impatient children but we found it inspiring. We would love to come back for a longer visit

Luckily I got to see another great art museum in America ! This has a lot of iconic pieces that you’ve more than likely seen in your lifetime, well worth checking out and free if you go on Wednesday nights.

Exquisite and delightful experience at the MFA Boston.Todays visit was splendid, this place is fun to explore accompanied by family or friends to have a great time learning facts about the Boston designers influence in the jewerly design and also gain knowledge about everything else in between throughout the art and a little bit of history around the world.As we had spend time viewing everything on the first level and part of the second level we definitely have to continue another time to enjoy the full gallery and the section dedicated to women in the arts on the third level.

Pollocks monumental work is curated wonderfully with one of his smaller murals. A captivating Black History collection is curated by young artists from local high schools. The Weng family works, the Islamic art - this is a breathtaking display of eclectic artistic excellence

Amazing museum with a huge variety of exhibits from paintings and statues to musical instruments. The collection may be smaller than some world-renowned museums but is still superb. Especially recommend the impressionists. Also, if you can catch the exhibition of works by Danish illustrator Kay Nielsen (on until January 2020), definitely do. Its fantastic.

The little bits of extra information were great! The staff were really courteous. As an added treat there was some live flamenco style music today.The MFA is a great place to spend a good chunk of your day.

A-one of the best museums Ive ever been to, definitely went beyond my expectations! Stunning collections, think Londons V&A, British Museum and the National Gallery combined, the museum name doesnt really reflect its collections entirely. Spent many hours there, theres a lot to see!

One of the finest art museums in the world. They have collections from throughout the world. best part was the American collection and the ancient Egypt exhibit. Art enthusiasts can easily spend an entire day here, even more.

Extraordinary collection of paintings and sculptures from every continent.

MFA of Boston should be in Must see list of items regardless - if you are just visiting Boston for a few days or living here for awhile. I would definitely recommend to be here once in a few years (or as soon as anything interesting displaying there for you). Parking sometimes can be tricky - but I was able to find a spot every time I went there. Also consider to use ground transportation.

A beautiful meuseum. They have everything from Monet, Pollock, and Van Gogh to a wonderful display of musical instruments

My absolute favorite museum! It is very large with a variety of art. They always have special exhibits going on as well as permanent artifacts and art. They have all-gender bathrooms in addition to traditional male/female bathrooms. There are elevators, wheelchairs, and audio guides provided. The food and coffee is absolutely delicious and prices are what you would expect. Entry is $25, $10 for ages 7-17, free for under 6, and $23 for students/seniors. Your towns public library probably provides discounted tickets- mine provides two tickets at $10 each. Definitely worth it! Parking rates vary, but to give you an idea it is $18 for 2 hours and $24 for 3 hours.

Superb collection of art ranging from ancient art all the way up to contemporary and modern art. Each exhibit in the musuem tries to encapsulate what it really feels like to be within a certain era. There are pieces that are interesting for all ages, many of them also provide a substantial amount of history too. All exhibits are very well maintained, and there are new things brought in frequently. You can get a student discount and sometimes get a re-entry ticket.

Peek into the world of amazing ancient artifacts and architecture. Beautiful and educative collections. Visited the museums three times in a row, couldnt cover all the exhibits. Highly recommend if one is in Boston. The best exhibit for the ancient world enthusiasts like me is the Art of the ancient world exhibut.Make sure to get a guide or an archaeologist next to you ;)

I met this museum at the beginning of last year, my friends and I love it, it has a lot of interesting things.

Just an absolutely amazing museum. So far the highlight of our trip. Monet, Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Picasso, Manet, Matisse. Everybody whos anybody from the European art scene makes an appearance. Highly recommend this place. Just get here.

Its my first time seeing a museum with as large a collection as MFA Boston, but it was impressive to me. The spaces were also well appointed. We were not able to see everything; we have to return.

Awesome museum. Excellent collection of art and archaeological artifacts

What a museum. A bit far from downtown boston. You need to take a train that becomes a streetcar.Once in the museum you will realize that it is huge and very organized.Three floor were opened when I visited. There are unique pieces of art from five continents, portraits, sculptures, decorative rooms, a restaurant, and a lot of more things to do and observe.On wednsdays after five I guess tickets are donations. As much as you desire.Cant miss it when you are in town!!

One of the highest quality of museums in the world, mainly Arts from the America and the founding fathers of this beautiful country and city. A must see while in Boston.

I had no idea how much Id miss art museums (though I 100% support the sacrifice for the greater good of society).

Fantastic Museum. Would recommend devoting 3+ hours if you want to view every exhibit, I only spent 2.5 and visited less than half of the museum. The works are outstanding and the Egyptian section is incredibly phenomenal. The architecture of the museum is a little reminiscent of the Louvre; you’re in for a great treat visiting this location.

First, youll need at least 4hrs. More, depending on how expensive your interested are.The best collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts in the US thanks to early 1900s expeditions by Harvard. And a decent Greek and Roman collection too.MFA also had a great collection of art from the European Masters and American artists.

Always a pleasure! Happened to come on Free Friday this time around - a nice surprise! Made the trip even better.There are some beautiful pieces here! Rothko, Monet, Van Gogh... Takes a couple visits to fully see everything. Nice food at the cafe downstairs, I recommend grabbing a sandwich and a beer.

I visited again to buy some souvenirs for my important one. The staff lady is very helpful. You could also buy online.I agree with positive comments from others.

A massive museum! We saw only a fraction of it but a highlight was definitely the Monet exhibit. I heard it is the largest collection of Monet pieces in North America I believe? I also loved the restoration area where they actually are actively working to restore different art pieces. I enjoyed learning more about that process. Id definitely recommend this museum!

Great job on the Nubian Exhibit! I love the different voices that appear in the written materials. I was surprised and impressed at the discussion about the white-washing of Egypt b/the entire East African region shares the same art, culture, science and history (recently traveled to Ethiopia). I think trials that the MFA is experiencing regarding race reflects your ongoing willingness to change and stick your neck out. Its hard, but as an African American whose been visiting the museum since childhood, I really appreciate the change. Thank you and nice job!

Huge collection of European art. Was disappointed to see that art from The Americas was predominantly US. Huge space, easy to get lost, equally easy to stumble upon something incredible. Employees and docents were very helpful (see: easy to get lost.) Also, it’s $25 but you can come in again within ten days. Do yourself a favor and break up your visit.

Unfortunately I only had 2 hours there. Wish I had more time. So much to see. Definitely will be back. Love the collections here.

One of the best memories I deeply loved the greek culture.

One of the best museums I have ever been to the artwork was beautiful, the staff kind, and very clean. If going I recommend bringing a bag that can be worn at your side as backpacks are not allowed.

Great experience! Many important paintings from europe in which I was mostly interested in! They also have a small collection of klaviers and early pianos -worth visiting if you have not yet!

Gorgeous layout. I love the separation of the old library and the new wing with a coffee shop and radio stations. Absolutely worth a visit!

Great museum in Boston. You can see various collections here not only modern but old and from around the world!! After you pay for the entrance fee you can take your time as much as you want!! You feel you need more time to see all the collection. I was fascinated by the modern American art. I want to come back for enjoying the areas with more times.

Beautiful, thoughtful exhibits with wonderfully word-smithed write-ups for each item. The staff is friendly and always willing to help. The curators do a spectacular job keeping things fresh and interesting.

It was an amazing visit, but prepare to walk ALOT. Today we seen the breathtaking Nubian exhibit and a few others but it was so much to take in we will have to come in another day. Good thing is that you can come again on the same tickets within 10 days
