🎨 MFA Boston – Ultimate One-Day Art Marathon Guide! 🖼️
Boston’s iconic museum packs Van Gogh + Monet + Song Dynasty treasures under one roof. Here’s how to maximize your visit without collapsing: 🕙 Basics: • Hours: 10AM–5PM (closed Tue). • Tickets: 27 general / 34 Van Gogh (BoA cardholders: FREE general entry + $7 Van Gogh on 1st weekends!). 🎧 MUST-DO: Guided Tours (11AM–2PM, hourly): • Volunteer-led gems—my guide spotlighted Mary Cassatt (badass female Impressionist), The Tea painting = feminist vibes. 🍽️ Fuel Up: Café salads/sandwiches (meh taste, max convenience). 🌟 Top Exhibits (Map It!): ✅ Van Gogh: The Roulin Family (Ends 9/7) • Sunflower-yellow warmth + postcard coloring activity. ✅ Qi Baishi’s Ink Magic (Ends 9/28) • Shrimp that almost swims off the page—Chinese art flex. ✅ Monet’s Haystacks (Gallery 252) • Sunset hues + dreamy lilies = Impressionist heaven. ✅ Egyptian Mummies (1st Floor) • MFA-dug artifacts (thanks, Harvard 1905 digs!). ✅ Song Dynasty Guanyin (Asian Art) • 1000-year-old goddess with chill lotus pose. ⏳ Time Crunch? • Skip: American portraits (unless into stoic farmers). • Speed-run: Hit Van Gogh → Monet → Egypt in 2hrs. #MFABoston #VanGogh #ArtLovers #BostonMuseum #FreeEntryHack #Impressionism #AsianArt #EgyptianMummies #BostonMustSee #CultureFix
