About this Tour

We will meet in the lobby of the Huntington Avenue entrance of the MFA. There is a free coat check near the lobby. We can plan our visit when we meet in person or in advance through messaging.

We can saunter through each gallery where I will highlight one or two pieces from each collection including the Egyptian, Greek and Roman, European, the American Wing, Contemporary, Impressionist, Asian, Pacific, Central and South American, and African Art. There are always special exhibits that I will have viewed and studied before your visit.

If you have specific galleries you want to focus on or special exhibits that you want to view in-depth with me then that is how we will spend the time. This is your two hours and we will experience the museum together at your pace focusing on your interests. I will share my knowledge of the museum, its history, and individual works of art.

This is a large art museum with additions and wings. I know my way around the building and will help you navigate each gallery to ensure you see as much as you wish of the vast and beautiful art collection.
