Museum of Fine Arts Boston Hours Information

The Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) Boston, one of the largest museums in the US, is home to over 450,000 art works which attract more than a million of tourists every year. With the construction of the Art of the Americas Wing that is built to make the Museum more accessible, the size of the Museum is increased about 28%.

This museum was established in 1870 but not open to the public until 1876. Originally situated in a Gothic Revival building, the MFA was moved to the "Avenue of the Arts" in 1909. Today, it becomes one of the most comprehensive art museums in the world.
