Museum Of Fine Arts, BostonThe Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts was founded in 1870 and opened in 1876. It moved to its current location on Huntington Ave. in 1909. The MFA is one of the largest museums in the United States. The museum contains an extensive collection of Egyptian artifacts including sculptures, sarcophogi, and jewelry. The museum also is home to a large collection of French impressionist works including Paul Gauguin's Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? (D'o venons-nous? Que faisons-nous? O allons-nous?) as well as works by Manet, Renoir, Degas, Monet, and others. The Gund Gallery hosts temporary exhibits while a Japanese garden provides a quiet, contemplative space outside the museum itself. As of 2005, the museum is currently building a new wing and a number of standing exhibits are still in storage. Admission to the museum is charged but members can visit the museum's general collection without any further charge. External links
