Any of the big schools in Boston. This is free bring your ID. Also goes for most of, if not all, the Colleges of the Fenway Schools.

Amazing museum. Spent 4 hours here and still didn't see everything! Buy a ticket and you can come back for free within 10 days. Win!

Went to see the Dale Chihuly Glass exhibit here, what an amazing exhibit. I didn't have time to see any other exhibits but would love to come back again sometime.

It's a very very huge place and they have so much to offer. They have the free admission tickets for ten days and you must use it. It's impossible to enjoy everything they offer at once.

Came upon Matisse's 'La Japonaise' as part of a restoration exhibit. What a wonderful surprise. And take your time in the American Wing. LOTS to explore.

Better be prepared to spend the say and then you may have only seen a small part of the entire collection. Great great place.

Even if you’re not an avid art fan, you must pass-by the MoFA. Others have said it too, it’s huge so plan your time accordingly.
Ceylan Sahin EkerJanuary 2, 2015
It's surprisingly big and there are small exhibitions hidden everywhere. Be patient and keep exploring...

The MFA hosts many one-day programs that give kids (& parents) a chance to create art within the museum environment. It’s a great way to get kids excited about art! -- Green Guide Editor

Beautiful museum. There are tons of exhibits so be sure to reserve at least a couple hours for it
Anthony D PaulJanuary 1, 2013
Take advantage of the 10-day ticket, or plan what you want to see. The museum is huge and the closing bell will catch you before you are ready.
Patrick BrennickOctober 14, 2016
Always a great time at the museum. If it's still there, take some time to check out the Clock.

The Richard Avedon exhibit displays his formidable output over the decades. If you're looking for someone to praise for how good she ended up looking after all that fuss, Avedon deserves some credit. Read more

The door says "Push", but you are actually more than capable of pulling it as well. Loved their Amelie soundtrack playing in the background!

The full priced admission tickets can be used up to 10 days after, but not student tickets. You get $2 off admission to the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum if you visit on the same day.

Love the Sargent and American Impressionism exhibits in the new wing. Unfortunately, you will have to walk past Chihuly's hideous green monstrosity in the open atrium.
Cam BMarch 19, 2017
They have art outside and inside, enough for one to not get bored.

If you find enough time to explore all of the Art of Americas wing....do it! The wing opened in November 2010, so it's the baby of the museum wings.
Nick GoodwinJune 30, 2015
Such a cool experience. Pace yourself, it's pretty huge.
PK ShiuFebruary 24, 2013
A wonderful art museum, especially after they built the new wing. You can spend hours in here.
