Great learning experience! - So much to look at from so many eras of history. The museum has done a great job. Thanks for a great experience in learning.

Everything is magical! - The art work, building itself, gift shop Only criticism is that there were very few employees around to guide or ask questions.

Fantastic museum - One of the most wonderful museums I’ve ever visited. I’ve been several times and each time I’m drawn to something new. Plan to spend a whole day to see the entire exhibit.

Must see! - Absolutely gorgeou, a must-see for any visitor in Boston! I could have spent several days exploring the MFA. So many fantastic galleries to explore and all beautifully curated.

One of the Best in the World - No matter what your cultural or geographic interests, this museum will have something for you. I particularly like the huge section of European Art including a whole room devoted to Monet, and also I like the American art. This visit, I stumbled upon an outstanding and varied jewelry exhibit. I believe it is temporary so go see it if you are in Boston. All kinds of jewelry from different continents and eras! You can eat in an attractive spot on the first floor or cafeteria style on the bottom floor. There are two nice gift shops. Museum stores are a bit pricey but the money goes to a good cause, right? Even if you arent into paintings, the MFA Boston has objects of interest for you. Highly recommended.

Loved it! - Loved this museum. Lots to explore and easy to navigate. Our highlight was the impressionist exhibit. But be careful you probably need more time that you think yo explore everything.

Enjoyable American art collection - Really enjoyed our visit to the museum, on a weekend afternoon. Even though it was a weekend, the museum was not overly busy or difficult to navigate. We focused our visit on the collection of American art, which was really enjoyable and well-curated. Fairly nice mix of styles and artists. Descriptions of particular works were accessible and informative. Gift shop had a great selection of stationery. Recommended and worth the cost of admission.

Must visit! - A MUST when visiting Boston! Friendly staff, pleasant rooms, beautifully curated! Start your tour of the museum at the impressive Chihuly Icicle Tower in the main lobby (nice restaurant there, too!). I recommend spending two to five hours at the museum, there are many exhibits to see. There is a nice coffee shop next to well-stocked Museum store as well as a restaurant (good salads) in the basement, garden seating available.

Designed for academics, not families - We have a young teen who loves anything to do with ancient civilizations, so we came to look at the ancient Greek, Roman and Egyptian sections. I hate to say it, but I found these sections were set up for academics or art afficionados rather than families. Hundreds of pieces of pottery all displayed in glass cases, with long-winded texts in small print. Other museums we've been to with similar displays make you feel like you're walking back in time, and they focus on telling a story. I felt that MOFA Boston was high on quantity, but has a lot of room for improvement on quality of display if they want to make art accessible to younger audiences.
