Description

Effective October 18th, your card allows you admission to the Museum and ALL special exhibits!

No trip to Boston would be complete without a visit to the Museum of Fine Arts. See cultural treasures and historic icons from around the world and across the ages including Ancient Egyptian, Classical and Asian art, as well as world-renowned collections of paintings, sculpture and decorative arts. And as befits an art museum founded by Yankees, the stellar collection of early American paintings and decorative arts brings the history of the Revolution to life. (Look for Paul Revere's Liberty Bowl as well as his portrait by John Singleton Copley.) Other highlights include superb 19th-century French paintings such as Renoir's Dance at Bougival, one of the largest collections of works by Monet found outside of France, and Egyptian and Japanese collections that are unrivalled anywhere in North America.

From mummies to Impressionism, to fresh contemporary works, there's something for eveyone at the MFA.

Starting October 18th, “The Secrets of Tomb 10A: Egypt 2000 BC”:

In a 1915 excavation, the MFA found the largest burial assemblage of Egypt’s Middle Kingdom ever discovered. The tomb was filled with the funerary equipment of a local governor and his wife, among which was the famous “Bersha coffin,” arguably the finest painted coffin Egypt produced.

Now, experience the afterlife as imagined by ancient Egyptians through Tomb 10A’s contents: jewelry, walking sticks, canopic jars, and miniature models depicting everyday life - shown together for the first time in 4,000 years.
