Museum of Fine Arts
No trip to Boston would be complete without a visit to the Museum of Fine Arts. See cultural treasures and historic icons from around the world and across the ages including Ancient Egyptian, Classical and Asian art, as well as world-renowned collections of paintings, sculpture and decorative arts.
And as befits an art museum founded by Yankees, the stellar collection of early American paintings and decorative arts brings the history of the Revolution to life. (Look for Paul Revere’s Liberty Bowl as well as his portrait by John Singleton Copley.)
Other highlights include superb 19th-century French paintings such as Renoir’s Dance at Bougival, one of the largest collections of works by Monet found outside of France, and Egyptian and Japanese collections that are unrivalled anywhere in North America.
From mummies to Impressionism, to fresh contemporary works, there’s something for everyone at the MFA. Check the website for information on daily events and current exhibitions.
