The art scene in Boston is bustling. Whether you’re into classic or modern art, the city boasts of places where various masterpieces are waiting to be rediscovered. Before you plan your museum tour, let me walk you through two of my favorite museums in the city. 

Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum

This museum is a reconstruction of a 15th-century Venetian palace. Owned by the socialite and art patron it was named after, the Gardner Museum has a whimsical collection of pieces that was amassed by Jack and Isabella Gardner during their travels. With its collection of Asian and European art, the museum’s layout was planned to engage the visitor’s imagination. Get ready to be inspired as you enjoy 2,500 artworks. 

Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

The MFA has 450,000 items in the exhibition. The museum has a Japanese, Egyptian, South American, and North American collections, some of which were acquired by Harvard University. The place also holds several exhibitions that are timely and showcase art from different parts of the world. If you’ve got time to digest artworks from various nations, then a day going around this museum will surely be worth it. Trust me; I learned to appreciate art and history at a whole new level.

If you’re planning to go on a museum tour, there are other options aside from these two. Boston is also nicknamed the “walking city” so brace yourself for a lot of walking when you visit this city. See you around.
