Museum of Fine Arts
Journey through the history of Western painting in one of the world’s finest collections of art. Home to the largest collections of Egyptian and Japanese art outside of those countries, the museum provides an infinite array of human expression. Our tour focuses on both art done by native Bostonians (John Singleton Copley, Homer Winslow), and the history of Western expression through painting. Starting with the Dutch Masters, we travel through the counter-reformation (Velazquez), Romanticism (JMW Turner), Impressionism (Monet), Expressionism (Picasso), and all the other isms that led to the modern era. We finish in the American Wing, admiring glass by Chihuly, Louis Tiffany, and John LaFarge, Copley portraits of John Hancock and Paul Revere, and the genius of John Singer Sargent. This tour is designed to teach the novice how to better appreciate art, or to show the veteran art historian a melange of the museum’s 30-40 best pieces. We’ve selected the paintings with the best stories that will delight even small children who thought museums were boring. ***Please note that museum admission is NOT included in the price of these tours. Guests will be required to pay their own admission for an additional modest fee. Our fee is for the tour guide’s services only***

The Museum of Fine Arts offers many of their own docent-led tours , which are fantastic, and should be viewed as complementary to our tour. Their docents have studied the paintings in-depth, and can give comprehensive detail and history for each painting, though their tours tend to include 5-7 works, rather than 30-40. Their tours are FREE with admission. Visit their website for more information and tour schedules.
We are happy to handle admission for you, if you prefer to pay everything (tour fee and museum admission) in one lump sum.
If there is a particular painting or genre that deeply interest you, and does not appear to be on our path, please let us know. We do not typically enter the Asian, Egyptian, or “Ancient Art” wings, which are immensely rich in fabulous artworks. We encourage you to ask for these!

Fine Arts museum – The garden Jean-Christophe Coutand / ADT Touraine
In a former archbishop's palace (4th to 18th centuries) and listed as a Historic Monument, the Tours Fine Arts Museum houses collections that are among the richest in France, with masterpieces by Mantegna, Rubens, Rembrandt, Delacroix, Degas, Monet and Rodin. At the museum entrance, a majestic, two-century-old cedar tree looks down on the courtyard where the elephant Fritz, killed in 1903, is on display. Further on, the regular "French-style" garden was redesigned in 1911. Made up of two flower beds and featuring carpet bedding displays, it is encircled by U-shaped yew trees. At the end of the garden, in a more English style, there are a wide range of trees overlooking Rue des Ursulines, including hackberries, mulberries, horse-chestnuts, lime trees and hornbeams.

![tours museum of fine arts Admissions](https://www.trolleytours.com/wp-content/themes/oldtowntrolley/images/icon-admissions.png)
The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston is a world-renowned institution housing one of the best art collections in the world. The wide range of captivating, priceless works displayed celebrates the talents of a variety of masters spanning the history of art from antiquity to the contemporary period. The collection encompasses more than 450,000 individual pieces dating from ancient Egypt until the 20th century. The family-friendly museum has several hands-on art programs geared toward children to make their visit fun and exciting. In addition to its permanent exhibits, the museum hosts temporary shows highlighting particular artists, styles and countries along with traveling exhibits from other museums around the world.
History of the MFA
Founded in 1870, the MFA opened to the public six years later with the majority of its assortment consisting of works taken from the Boston Athenaeum’s art collection. John Hubbard Sturgis and Charles Brigham designed the ornate Gothic Revival-style building on Copley Square that originally housed the MFA. The edifice was easily identifiable by its red brick and imported terracotta facade.
In 1907, it was determined that the museum would move to its present location in the Fenway-Kenmore section of Boston. Guy Lowell was hired to design a building that could be constructed in stages as funds became available. The first section of the neoclassical building was completed in 1909. The building featured a grand rotunda and a 500-foot-long granite facade. A new wing was added six years later that overlooked The Fens. From 1916 until 1925, noted artist John Singer Sargent produced the frescoes that adorn the colonnades, walls and ceiling of the rotunda. The Decorative Arts Wing was added in 1928. While I. M. Pei designed the West Wing that opened in 1981, the most recent addition, the Art of the Americas Wing, opened in 2010.
The Collection
From the core of paintings and sculptures once contained in the Boston Athenaeum , the collection has grown to include works by John Singleton Copley, Winslow Homer and John Singer Sargent. The second-largest museum collection in the world also features pieces by Gilbert Stuart, Fitz Henry Lane and Edward Hopper. The museum is home to a wealth of works by native New England artists, folk art and colonial portraiture as well. There are fine examples of abstract impressionists from the mid-20th century. The collection includes Egyptian artifacts along with French impressionist and post-impressionist works by Gauguin, Renoir and Manet as well as Van Gogh, Monet and Cezanne. There is an impressive array of Chinese and Japanese works. Notable works include John Singleton Copley’s portrait of Paul Revere , the unfinished portrait of George Washington by Gilbert Stuart and Apollo and the Muses by Claude Lorrain. The museum houses the 13-foot-tall Juno, the country’s largest classical statue.
Exhibits and Galleries
You can journey through time from the first millennium B.C. to the 20th century as you explore the various galleries and exhibits. If your time is limited, browse the main central galleries of each wing. The side galleries and exhibits offer a more in-depth study of unique artists, periods and styles.
Featured Galleries

The Art of Asia displays various works, including paintings, sculptures and ceramics dating from 4000 B.C., which reflect the culture of China, Japan, Korea and parts of Southeast Asia. The Art of Africa and Oceana Gallery reflects on the artistic creativity of the indigenous people of these areas of the world with its collection of bronze figurines and tribal masks. The Art of the Ancient World features a range of antique artifacts that date as far back as 6500 B.C. There are works of art from Egypt, Greece, Rome and Nubia. The Contemporary Art Gallery highlights works produced by artists after 1955 like Kathy Butterly and Andy Warhol.

Textiles on display include haute couture fashion, needlepoint embroidery and tapestries as well as Middle Eastern rugs and African Kente cloths. Featuring Egyptian broad collars to contemporary studio pieces, the jewelry collection comes from almost every culture. The Printing and Drawing Collection is one of the finest in the world with works dating from the 15th century as well as an extensive grouping from the American Civil War.

While the capital of Touraine is the gateway to the Loire castles, it also has a few treasures of its own. A short walk from the banks of the Loire and the Gothic cathedral, don't miss the Museum of Fine Arts based in the former Archbishop's Palace, which is now a listed Historic Monument.
Tours Museum of Fine Arts opened in 1801 thanks to an initial donation of 30 paintings from the future Louvre Museum, and has several masterpieces on display: the Ex-voto by Rubens, panels by Mantegna dating from the Italian Renaissance, and a large collection of French paintings from the 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, including works by Champaigne, Delacroix, Monet, Degas, Debré and Peinado, as well as furniture and art objects from various eras.

Additional information Tours Museum of Fine Arts
Among the most beautiful sites of the Val de Loire is the former palace of the Archbishops of Tours, classified Historic Monument, today Museum of Fine Arts.
- The main wing of the former palace of the Archbishopric, built in 1767, is a large classical building with pediment and attic with, to the east, a terrace overlooking the gardens and the park. This sober architecture preserves the traces of edifices which succeeded from Antiquity until the eighteenth century. Gallo-Roman rampart and tower (4th century), vestiges of the church Saint Gervais - saint Protais (4th-12th centuries), room of the General States (XII e -XVIII e centuries), former palace of the XVIIth century. On the eve of the Revolution, the courtyard was closed by a hemicycle preceded by a monumental gate forming a triumphal arch, while the former Salle des Etats was transformed into a chapel with an antique colonnade.
- After 1789, the palace of the archbishops became theater, central school, library and depots of confiscated works of art. During the Empire and throughout the 19th century, the buildings were once again assigned to the archbishop's palace. It was not until 1910, when the town became the owner of the site, that the collections were reinstated in the old archiepiscopal palace.
- Collections:
- The oldest collection of the museum consists of works seized in 1794, in churches and convents, in particular the great abbeys of Marmoutier, Bourgueil and La Riche , as well as paintings and furniture from the castles of Chanteloup and Of Richelieu .

- Established officially in 1801, the museum benefits from the sending by the Central Museum, future Louvre, of thirty paintings including a series of reception pieces from the Royal Academy of Painting. It is at this time that the museum receives the Ex-Voto from Rubens and the masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance which are the two panels of Andrea Mantegna.
- During the 19th century, the city of Tours acquired two important lots of paintings where the French and Italian eighteenth century is well represented. State deposits, bequests and gifts enrich the museum throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries with furniture, paintings, art objects from various periods, increasing collections with Rembrandt, Champaigne, Corneille, Coypel, Lagrenée, Nattier, Perronneau.
- Throughout the 20th century, important legacies and donations completed the collection of the Museum of Tours, its strong identity. In 1963 the museum received the legacy of the painter and collector Octave Linet, thus constituting an exceptional collection of Italian Primitives after the Louvre Museum and the Museum of the Petit Palais in Avignon.
The nineteenth century is also well represented, from neoclassical school (Suvée, Taillasson), romanticism (Vinchon), orientalism (Belly, Chassériau, Delacroix), realism (Bastien-Lepage, Cazin, Gervex). Impressionism, post-impressionism and symbolism are present thanks to the works of Monet, Degas, Henri Martin, Le Sidaner.
- The collection of works from the 20th century includes Asse, Besse, Calder, Davidson, Debré, Denis, Vieira da Silva and Zao Wou-Ki.
- In 2003, the Musée des Beaux-Arts received the Musée de France label, awarded by the Ministry of Culture.

The Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts is located on Volkhonka Street across from the Cathedral of Christ the Savior . It houses the largest collection of European art in Moscow, and it was named in honor of one of Russia's premier poets, Alexander Pushkin.
You don't go here to read sonnets, though. Instead, you should look to find art spanning a wide range of eras and movements, from ancient Greece to the Renaissance to French Impressionism. Masterpieces from the likes of Renoir, Cézanne, Picasso and Van Gogh easily make this museum deserving of a visit.
Admission is approximately $10 USD (300 rubles) for adults and $3 USD (100 rubles) for students. The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m (last admission is at 6 p.m.); you'll find it's accessible from the Kropotkinskaya and Borovitskaya metro stations. For more information, check out the Pushkin Museum website .

You'll find the Red Square is bordered by the massive GUM shopping mall on the east, St. Basil's Cathedral on the south, the State Historical Museum on the north and Lenin's Mausoleum on the west.

New exhibit seeks to revive UNH Museum of Art
DURHAM -- A special fall art exhibit brings local galleries together in effort to breathe new life into the University of New Hampshire's former Museum of Art .
The exhibit Not for Sale will be the inaugural show to be held at the art gallery at UNH, located in the Paul Creative Arts Center at 30 Academic Way. The exhibit, which will showcase the work of more than 40 artists, runs from Aug. 26 through Oct. 11, is a collaboration of area galleries, Katzman Contemporary Projects (Dover), the RMFA (Rochester Museum of Fine Arts) and See Saw Gallery in Manchester.
The exhibition marks a significant milestone following the closure of the UNH Museum of Art last year due to a $14 million budget cut, a setback that was deeply felt by the greater New Hampshire art community.
In an attempt to revive the space, Benjamin Cariens, chair of the Department of Art and Art History at UNH, contacted the Rochester Museum of Fine Arts and Katzman Contemporary Projects to produce an independent exhibition in hopes of ushering in a new era of programming focused on art accessibility, community engagement, and sustainability.
"It’s pretty cool," said Matthew Wyatt of the RMFA. "We are working with a Dover gallery to essentially re-open the art museum after closing last year due to budget cuts. To be clear, we are just opening it up by doing one temporary exhibit until October. Then, it’s our hope, that organizers will continue it in the same way as our methods are sustainable, affordable, and accessible.

Wyatt said the NFS: Not For Sale exhibition invites artists to present works of personal significance, whether newly created or from their past. In order to foster a diverse and introspective collection, each artist was asked to submit 3-5 pieces, without knowing what others would bring. Additionally, the curatorial team asked each participant to look back at the time when they were emerging artists and ponder the question: What insight would you share with your younger self?
“This show is a small sampling of contemporary artists connected to the Northeast brought together by curators from New Hampshire,” said Eric Katzman of Katzman Contemporary Projects. “For me, the excitement is the interplay of the personal works that each artist brings. The emotional aspect of nostalgia, combined with exhibiting pieces with personal significance, makes this show compelling in a current landscape of rapid change.”
Wyatt said, “We’re happy to volunteer our time to curate an exhibition with Eric and Julee Katzman in the Museum of Art at UNH. We look forward to bringing artists and art enthusiasts together to celebrate such an important art space in New Hampshire.”
Amy Regan of See Saw Art and the Rochester Museum of Fine Arts, added, “Our respective organizations represent a new wave of art initiatives that are artist-focused and financially sustainable. We appreciate the University’s efforts to move in a new direction, reopen to the public, and give curators like us a chance to extend our reach to a greater audience.”
Invited artists include Alex Leith, Alicia Ethridge, Ashley Page, Bethany Engstrom, Brett Marcel, Chris Thibault, Claudia Rippee, Cozette Russell, Damion Silver, Dave Pettengill, Dean McCrillis, Douglas Breault, Edgar Paredes, Forrest Elliott, Forrest Knight, Hannah Hirsch, Heather Morgan, Holden Willard, Jackie Brown, Jason Bagatta, Kerri Kimura, Kevin Kintner, Kevin Xiques, Kristy Cavaretta, Lauren Karjala, Lydia M.

Miller, Richard Yu-Tang Lee, Ryan John Lefevbre, Sean Weare, Steven Cabral, Susan Schwake, Tara Lewis, and Tracy Hayes.
NFS: Not For Sale will be on display Aug. 26 to Oct. 11, with a reception on Friday, Sept. 6 from 6 to 9 p.m. Visit katzmancontemporaryprojects.com , rochestermfa.org , and seesaw.gallery for information and updates.
