Don't go there expecting a Met, a Louvre or El Prado. But if you turn down expectations just a little bit, you'll find a very ejoyable museum, with many jewels arranged in a somewhat hapahazzardly way. Wednesdays nights are free, and the ambiance is very good. Perhaps I would not have like it so much at the standard $25 a... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon at the museum. It was freezing the weekend we were there so an afternoon at the museum was perfect!

I Love this Museum! FAB collections and incredible changing shows. I even love the ladies in the gift shop, the guards, the entry ticket checkers. The John Singer Sargent rotunda leaves me breathless ! You cannot miss this place if you are in Boston on a rainy day or whenever, get thyself there . I visited the Ancient Greek and... More

There are also swords, horse coverings, a child samurai outfit. If you read every plaque and purchase the audio tour it will take you about three hours... More

We particularly enjoyed the temporary Samurai exhibition, but the remainder of the museum was also interesting. The building itself is good and we also enjoyed the walk to the museum across the back bay fens. Our tickets were valid for a return visit within 10 days, so if art is your thing, go to the museum early in your stay... More

The layout of these conjoined buildings is so confusing. The collections are scatted among different floors. Whether viewing by theme, region, or chronology - you will find yourself going up and down and across courtyards just to maintain some semblance of order to your visit. Even having a map rarely helps because it is difficult to orient yourself. Collection pieces... More
