Jeremy KrantzAugust 11, 2014Parking there is pretty limited so I'd advise you try and take the green line (line E) there instead

@jayeatsworcesterAugust 19, 2014Go to the cafe first to get wine to deal with the boredom, and you will look sophisticated.
Have a question? Ask the staff! They're among the nicest of any museum I've visited.

Patrick CDecember 29, 2011Take the free tours... They provide great insight for those of us who are not art majors...
Daniel BachmannOctober 21, 2012Dont go there to just buy large posters, they are not helpful to let you access the main big gift shop without paying 50 dollar entry fee for 2, even tough we explained that we had to catch a flight!
kate mulleyDecember 2, 2010the Buddha temple is pretty breathtaking. and the new art of the Americas wing is a welcome addition.
The Goya exhibit is astounding in depth and breadth.

Big Sister Association of Greater BostonJune 24, 2011Get free admission to the MFA next Friday, July 1, thanks to Highland Street's Fun Fridays. http://ow.ly/5pqIT for the full calendar.- Anthony D PaulJanuary 1, 2013The map isn't very useful for figuring out what you have and have not seen. Bring a pen and mark off cells you've walked through. It is a confusing maze.
Dennis HGoApril 21, 2011Go on Wednesday after 4PM, admission becomes free. but get there early, it gets crowded.
OMG the Clock exhibit is fascinating and for the ultimate OCD personality. LOVED IT

"If you aren't able to attend a baseball game, definitely take the tour. You'll get to learn about one of the oldest ballparks in the country. Fenway Franks are bucket list hot dogs you must try!"
Megan McDonald 
"Go for “Winesdays” the last Wednesday of every month when $25 buys you wine tastings and hors d’oeuvres."
