The great thing is that the MFA is free on Wednesday evenings, and also you can order reduced price passes ahead of time from your local library because otherwise the admission price is prohibitively expensive (particularly if you'd like to go several times a year). It used to be that the membership fee was relatively reasonable, but that's expensive now, too. The other bit problem with the MFA is that parking is such a nightmare around there, and being on the E line makes public transportation a pain, too. All of that said, it's such a great museum. You can spend all day going from one gallery to another, and the collection is quite comprehensive. They don't have as many docent led programs as other great museums do (the Met, museums in London), which is unfortunate. Special exhibits are also really high priced. The museum store is very good.

The Museum of Fine Arts is a beautiful museum - housed in one of the typical old,. gorgeous buildings that Boston is known for. This museum is a perfect fit for a city known for its tradition and culture. In addition to the many regular exhibits from around the world that have been in the museum forever, there is a steady stream of special exhibits that come to the museum for only a few months at a time. Recently, these exhibits have ranged from Ralph Lauren's Car Collection, to a collection of Monet paintings, to Ansel Adams' photographs. I have visited the museum many times over the years and would highly recommend a visit. Enjoy!

first off, try to take the T or walk to the MFA. Its really convinient although the Green line is sometimes a little slower than the others. The musuem itself is beautiful and full of more stuff than you could see in one visit! Right now, the Ansel Adams exhibit is great although it costs extra in addition to your admissions ticket. Be sure to stop in the book shop and browse as there's some great pottery. Those with Harvard IDs get in for free!

The Museum of Fine Arts is a great place to go to relax, walk around, and experience art in its purest form. They have exhibitions containing ancient Egyptian art, all the way up to the modern period (my personal favorites). If you are a Boston-area student, you can also get discounted or even free admission with your student ID card...definitely a great deal!
