Museum of Fine Arts
Since 1909, the Museum of Fine Arts has been housed in a Greek-style building designed by architect Guy Lowell. Thanks to the financial power of Bostonians with a penchant for art, an excellent collection has been created which, not just because of the exhibits by outstanding American artists, is considered to be among the world’s best.
Paintings by Gauguin, Van Gogh, Renoir and Monet, complemented by a variety of significant Asian art are all featured. Owing to its involvement in the excavations at Giza, the museum is able to display magnificent exhibits of Egyptian and Nubian art.
