Our family spent several hours exploring the museum on Saturday. We had a wonderful time working our way through very eclectic exhibits, some more interesting than others. We found the photos representing a stylized 1950s era especially fascinating. And, of course, free admission at all times is something everyone can love.
MoreIt was free admission. Very large museum, we sped through some of it and it still took almost 2 hours. They have lockers for your things. It was very nice, would recommend if you enjoy this kind of stuff.
MoreFree to wander and absorb all the grreat art from Munch Manet and Gauguin. You need to go at least twice to see all the rooms. The Cafe and shop are lovely
MoreExceeded my expectations. Saw so many spectacular art works that I was overwhelmed. Would love to go back. Degas, Monet, John Singleton Copley, John Sargent and so much more. I wish I could have spent more time here.
MoreIt’s nice large and diverse collection. Too bad on many of the pieces related to American history they have to refer to slavery. For example on the portrait of Washington they have to point to him being a slaver. But in ancient Roman sculptures there is no mention Romans were the greatest enslaver. But what do you expect. This is Harvard the birthplace of elite wokism and guilt shaming!!!!
