Great collection of "stuff" but you need a lot of time to take it all in. I would advise at least 2 visits and concentrate on what you like! I did the new wing "Art of the Americas" - on the advice of my host Bobby at the Clarendon Square Inn (brilliant place). A very impressive museum and it was... More

I will admit, right off the bat, that I was at the MFA for a conference, and thus only had a spare hour or two to run through the galleries. What I saw, however, only made me want to see more.

We were pleased with the variety of art on display. We enjoyed the Katz exhibit. We spent most of our time taking in Monet and Renoir's masterpieces. Impressive art on exhibit for you to take in. This is a must see in Boston. More

We were doing a Harry Potter search through the museum, and spent a few hours in this enormous museum. It was our first time and we were impressed with the scope of the collection. We definitely will be coming back. I especially like the free admission for children. More
