Museum Of Fine Arts

For lunch, eat in the Courtyard Cafe – delicious and inexpensive. On nice days you can eat outside. (Too bad they don’t enforce the NO SMOKING rule better out there, though.)

I try and go to as many art museums as possible when i travel. i went to the MFA 2 out of the 4 days i was in boston… the first day i was there, i saw an Egyptian sculpture that i had only seen in books and i was in awe- i think the security guard thought i was crazy because i stood and stared at every angle and smiled…

their Asian art collection is also amazing and well worth the visit if you’re into that!

Ok, I am not a museum person so this kind of place is not my bag, baby. But they have free entry on Wednesday nights, or so I’ve heard. I did like the Egyptian stuff there, though.

This exhibit is a fun way to pass a few hours on a Saturday – portions of the fall/winter collections of 10 different designers (Azzedine Alaia, Hussein Chalayan, Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel, John Galliano for Christian Dior, Christian Lacroix, Maison Martin Margiela, Olivier Theyskens for Rochas, Valentino, Viktor & Rolf, and Yohji Yamamoto). My friend and I laughed at some of the outrageousness (a vest made of playing cards, a hat bigger than the seat of my car and less functional) and sighed at the beauty.

We each selected 1 piece from each collection that we would have as well as our favorite item overall. Mine was the Chanel black dress. I am still annoyed that we were not allowed to try on any of the shoes!

i love the MFA! i took classes at the school of the museum of fine arts and so i went to the museum at least once a week. Try to go when the musicians are playing so you can sit and listen to them while you read or look at art.
