I love this museum. Every time I go, it feels like a new experience. The only issue is that it can be a little hard to navigate. I definitely suggest bringing the map along. The cafe near the gift store makes excellent coffee too.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$21–30
Visited the Museum of Fine Arts for the 2nd time. Enjoyed the art and some of the historic pieces. The one that caught my eye in particular was Iago’s Mirror by Fred Wilson - incredibly captivating.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$21–30
The MFA is a must go. I’m assuming if you are looking at reviews you probably know this and you are really looking for information about parking and logistics. I got you. PARKING: there are MFA garages and parking lots that are on Museum Rd. Additionally there is street parking but it’s limited and you must pay unless it’s Sunday. All museum parking accommodations are expensive but offer quick accessibility to the museum. You can also park on Forsyth Way. I recommend going early in the morning if you want an easy street parking spot. Again, Sunday is free. Lastly the museum website has information about parking. All in all it’s not bad so don’t let that deter your visit. 2. TICKETS: I would recommend getting advanced tickets if you are seeing a special exhibit, additionally an advanced ticket is just an easier experience overall. Again, if you are seeing something special that costs more then plan in advance to get a ticket with a specific time. 3. IF YOU HAVE KIDS: the museum is kid friendly and I was surprised that they did not ask us to check backpacks or our stroller. There were many families with their young kids and the strollers did not seem to be a problem. Made our lives easier so I am assuming that the museum is pretty accessible for wheelchairs too. 4. Check out my photos to get a sense of the space. Loved our trip here and I will be back! Highly recommend.
Huge collections. Helpful, friendly staff. Tickets available on site or online. Highly recommend! Easy to get to via T, stop is almost across the street. Food available but we didn’t partake. Changing exhibits, something for everyone; from Egyptian mummies to European masters.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entry$21–30
Nice museum, there are long paths going every which way, so you’ll need a handy map to keep track of where you are vs what you want to see. Although we saw everything, we intentionally went for the Hokusai exhibit which was cool. I didn’t expect his famous ‘great wave’ was the size it was. I’ll definitely go again to give it another go. Plenty of walking, standing, some stairs but they probably have an elevator anywhere. You’ll have that theme-park soreness after walking this one.
It was enjoyable to roam around the museum for half a day. There is an eclectic selection of art and relics from all parts of the world in all the different eras so it's does feel a little overwhelming and confusing at times. All in all, it was a good experience.
Nice collection of art from the world. Especially, enjoyed the impressionist work from France . There were plenty of paid parking spaces available. Parking was pretty expensive. Standard rate for Boston.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$21–30
The Hokusai exhibit was done well and interesting. Very comprehensive. The Egyptian was small but again very interesting with a little bit of everything. Guard on the first floor was very helpful guiding us to specific artists' works. He knew the museum well. This museum is worth a visit .
The long wait was simply a matter of the Museum having free admission in honor of the Juneteenth Holiday, and so many folks coming to the Museum that morning. The Museum did a good job of moving the line at a good pace. The MFA is always a great place to visit. I should recommend buying tickets in advance only if there's a special exhibit you wish to see, as space may be limited.
This is a huge and incredible museum. I cant believe we took more than 5 hours to see each and every corner of the museum. Amazing artworks and beautiful collections from all parts of the continents. We went on a weekend and we parked our car 1.5 miles away from the museum as you would not find any parking nearby.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$31+
