Quote: This place has good share of art work and ancient artifacts. Very good collection of Greek artifacts. You'll notice students doing their homework and projects throughout the place. I was one of them once . . . sigh . . .

Quote: "Hey!" you think as you hop off the T at the Museum stop and catch your first glimpse of Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, "It's a mini Metropolitan Museum of Art." This assessment actually isn't far off the mark. The MFA wasn't designed by Richard... Read the full Museum of Fine Arts review

Quote: This museum is quite large. There isn't much for kids, besides the gift shop, so I wouldn't advise bringing the younger ones because they will get restless pretty quickly. The museum has many different features, lots of pieces from ancient... Read the full Museum of Fine Arts review
