“The Boston Museum of Fine Arts is a top level museum for lovers of art and history. It is more than a full day’s experience, and I’d recommend taking it in over several visits. The Egyptian/near east sectio. Is enough for an entire visit. My brain can only take in so much in an afternoon. If I lived closer, I’d get a membership and return time and again. Everything from early history through an extensive contemporary art section was impressive. More than an art Museum, an archaeology trove, and a visual history of civilization through the eyes of the world’s talented creative artisans.”

“I definitely gained a lot of knowledge about the history of Salem, but I would have liked it to be shorter so I could explore on my own more before I got so burnt out I was ready to go back to Boston.”
Watch the Red Sox at Fenway Park with an assigned seat, mobile ticket entry, and classic ballpark vibes in about 3 hours.
