Museum of Fine Arts

Resembling a Mediterranean villa, this museum’s collection has over 5,000 years of European, American, pre-Columbian, and Far Eastern art, with works by such big names as Fragonard, Monet, Renoir, Cézanne, and Gauguin. Other highlights include period rooms with antique furnishings, plus a gallery of Steuben crystal, a decorative-arts gallery, and world-class rotating exhibits. The best way to see it all is on a guided tour, given Saturdays and Sundays at 2pm which takes about 1 hour.
