Boston Museum of Fine Arts — A Treasure Trove of Global Masterpieces

#summervacay Founded in 1870, the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) in Boston houses over 450,000 works and offers a rich journey through art history across four levels. Most exhibits are located on the 1st and 2nd floors, categorized into five major sections: Contemporary Art, European, Americas, Asian, and Art of the Ancient World. While often seen as a “lighter” version of the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the MFA shines in its own right. You’ll find Monet, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Egyptian mummies, and even Chinese Buddhist sculptures from the Song Dynasty. To my surprise, I even stumbled upon a famous painting by Qi Baishi, one of China’s most iconic modern artists — a rare gem that bridges East and West beautifully. There’s no strict “must-see list” here; instead, you’re encouraged to explore freely and follow your personal aesthetic journey. The MFA is perfect for art lovers who enjoy discovering treasures beyond the mainstream. #bostonmfa #qibaishi #artmuseum #vangogh #museumtrip
