1 review for Museum of Fine Arts
Summer Jazz Series is a hit. This started earlier (in June) and has been all over WMNF since then. We have been attending it when we are in town and what a treat to hear great bands in such a cool space. The new wing is so... Contemporary. I look forward to seeing what kind of shows actually make it to this space. Chihuly, in my opinion, was a pinnacle, exhibit, in the legacy galleries, there has to be something over-the-top planned for these new spaces. The new gift shop, now called the Museum Store is a place to check out. The things they stock make it a treat to go gift shopping. If you haven't already been there, you must go.
Such a wide range of art on exhibit. From ancient to modern and even contemporary art. This place is very versatile and has a lot of history to show, definitely someplace for almost everyone. And check out the MFA Cafe too!!!!!!
