Museum of Fine Arts Boston
One of the largest art museums in the world, this 616,937 square foot institution was founded in 1870 and houses a collection of almost 500,000 works of art. More than one million visitors per year view works ranging from ancient Egyptian to contemporary art at the museum's current location, where it has been since 1909. Throughout the year, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston also provides studio art classes, educational programs, and special exhibitions. Several restaurants that are housed inside the museum are available to hungry visitors.
With the objects in its collection, the museum welcomes one million visitors each year to experience art from ancient times up to the present day through its permanent collection, special exhibitions and innovative educational programmes. The critically acclaimed Art of the Americas Wing, which opened in November 2010, features 53 new galleries to display the museum’s collections of North, South and Central American art together for the first time. The recently renovated Linde Family Wing for contemporary art is yet another vital part of MFA Boston.
