This scroll combines the 'three perfections' - painting, poetry, and calligraphy. On the right, Emperor Huizong wrote a poem in his unique 'slender gold' calligraphy, describing a rare parrot with red belly feathers and purple feet from lands 'beyond the south' (ornithologists have identified it as a species from the Sulawesi islands of Indonesia, known as the Ornate Lorikeet), inspired after noticing the bird flitting about the blooming apricot trees in his estate garden, he commemorated the moment with a poem, concluding the inscription with his personal epithet 'The First Under Heaven'.
Truly a fusion of East and West, a perfect combination; a feast for the eyes, adding brilliance to the entire hall!
Adult admission to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts is $27.
MFA is one of the three largest art galleries in the United States, and has a lot of wonderful works. As a result, the admission fee is also more expensive than other art museums, but I was able to save the admission fee after I went to Juneteenth commemorative free admission day! You can check the admission schedule on the website, so it is recommended to check in advance. Especially Monet's works were so pretty!
One of the four major museums in the United States, the museum has three floors, with a collection of more than 500,000 pieces, from classical paintings in the ancient East to paintings in modern art, you can enjoy the tour here. The museum was built in 1870 and opened to the public in 1876. It is worth mentioning that the pavilion in the west wing of the main building was designed by Pei Xuming. The spectacular stone steps and dome design after entering the pavilion is very suitable for patting.

Satisfied ticket service, timely and effective
Strongly recommended, it is worth visiting. It is one of the three major art museums in the United States. It has a very rich collection and stayed in it for more than four hours. It only takes a tour of the exhibits highlighted in the gallery's brochure according to Tusuo Ji. It is very convenient to buy tickets in advance on Ctrip. The exchange rate is cheaper than buying them directly locally.
