Ashley L. • October 24, 2016I went on both the Shop Life and Irish Outsiders tour. Both were interactive and engaging. The guides were knowledgeable and helped the space come to life. Order tickets online as they often sell out!

Ange S. • August 14, 2013Opening hours fluctuate. Call them to make sure that they are definitely open. :/

Naked B. • January 28, 2012This is a really nice museum down in th Seaport. It's not the biggest, but for $5 it's worth every penny if you're down there. I'm happy that it has re-opened, the space by itself is worth it.

Urban Oyster • March 30, 2011On the "Getting By" tour, several objects in the Baldizzi apartment are original artifacts used and donated by the family to the museum. Ask your tour guide which ones.
