Museum of Fine Arts-November 2013

My last visit to Boston involved history. This visit is about art.  Music, theatre, and art are my passions. Though my performance talents lie more heavily in music and theatre, I love to view and study art.  The Museum of Fine Arts is a masterful museum that certainly requires more than one visit to appreciate.  From mummies to contemporary art, the MFA is a like a journey through 6,000 years of recorded history. 2013-11-10 15.22.21

My favorite room in the entire museum is a red gallery lined with floor to ceiling paintings. One painting in particular is a portrait of the gallery itself. As you turn away from the painting, you can view the gallery exactly as it is in the painting.

I always enjoy seeing famous paintings. The MFA has a large collection of revolutionary paintings including Paul Revere and George Washington.

Like a gourmet meal, it’s important to know when the meal is over so you don’t regret the event.  I sampled the museum knowing I’d be back many times.
