Have some time to spare in the city? Have an interest in art or history? the boston Museum of Fine Arts is the fifth largest museum in the united States housing over five thousand works of art from contemporary classics to ancient Roman paintings and Babylonian carvings. the sprawling hallways connected by domes and glass chandeliers guide the average visitor through western, eastern, and african exhibits which display Roman pottery, Egyptian mummies, indigenous American art, and so much more. You can easily spend four hours in the museum without coming out of the western art wing, where portraits of george washington, paul revere, and the founding fathers hang. Feeling hungry after viewing all the art? The glass done encased cafe in the middle of the two major wings provides a bar, full sitdown dinner, and a grab-and-go station for those who wish to eat on the run. Although there are many sites to visit in Boston, the MFA is a must see. Plan to spend at least four hours, or just drop in to see the statue of Julius Cesar. Either way, you’ll be glad you went.
