Museums in Boston
With its history as an important cultural centre, Boston has some excellent museums, including those attached to its universities. The biggest news in recent years is the striking new waterfront home for the boundary-pushing Institute of Contemporary Art. The Museum of Fine Arts holds impressive collections of American, Egyptian and 19th-century European art, and the city is also home to unique smaller museums, such as the extraordinary bequest of Isabella Stewart Gardner.
