Mika • July 16, 2018This extension is always free entry! But if you have a ticket, there’s a free ferry b/w here and the Seaport main museum. Afterwards, I highly recommend getting free cider next door at Downeast!

The Wall Street Journal • August 3, 2014The curators here are so intuitive in their selection of new contemporary artists. They keep all the other gallery venues in Boston guessing, they're that ahead of the curve.

Daniel T. • November 21, 2014The West Wing, which contains Remis Auditorium, opened in 1981. However, the museum’s film program goes back to the late 1950s.
