What travelers say:
MFA is one of the three largest art galleries in the United States, and has a lot of wonderful works. As a result, the admission fee is also more expensive than other art museums, but I was able to save the admission fee after I went to Juneteenth commemorative free admission day! You can check the admission schedule on the website, so it is recommended to check in advance. Especially Monet's works were so pretty!

You can check the admission schedule on the website, so it is recommended to check in advance. Especially Monet's works were so pretty!
One of the four major museums in the United States, the museum has three floors, with a collection of more than 500,000 pieces, from classical paintings in the ancient East to paintings in modern art, you can enjoy the tour here. The museum was built in 1870 and opened to the public in 1876. It is worth mentioning that the pavilion in the west wing of the main building was designed by Pei Xuming. The spectacular stone steps and dome design after entering the pavilion is very suitable for patting.
The fifth largest art museum in the United States, there are many exhibits in Egypt, Greece, Rome, Europe is the most abundant with oil paintings, including Monet's water lilies and other paintings, showing the local history of the United States exhibition hall has no cultural relics, mainly showing the customs of the 18th and 19th centuries, Home style and other 17-year-olds are free, adult tickets are $25
Tickets are issued in time and easy to use.
Very convenient, a happy experience.
It is not Trip.com's own service, the docking service is very poor, it is not recommended to buy!
Satisfied ticket service, timely and effective
Strongly recommended, it is worth visiting. It is one of the three major art museums in the United States. It has a very rich collection and stayed in it for more than four hours. It only takes a tour of the exhibits highlighted in the gallery's brochure according to Tusuo Ji. It is very convenient to buy tickets in advance on Ctrip. The exchange rate is cheaper than buying them directly locally.
