Museum of Fine Art – Boston


I recently had the opportunity to visit the MFA twice in one week and as an Art History student I was in pure heaven, especially considering the MFA-Boston has one of the best Asian art collection in the U.S.  These pictures are a small part of the amazing art I was able to see first hand.  

 This is a drawing by Frank Lloyd Wright
 I wrote about this painting, Watson and the Shark  by John Singleton Copley HERE - This may seem strange but I actually got a tear in my eye to see it in real life....and I nearly got lost from my group when I wondered off to find it. 
 This is the hallway staircase in the Asian Art section.







Antoine-Jean Gros’ Bonaparte Visiting the Plague Victims of Jaffa - Which I wrote about HERE

As part of my trip to the museum, and to Boston, was for my Master of Design Studies in Historic Preservation through the Boston Architectural College – This class focused on Traditional Building Methods in New England





 This is a display for furniture building was built by students at The North Bennett Street School where I spent most of my "in class" time while in Boston





 I was stunned at the carving on this bust of a youth
Mary Cassatt's  At The Opera
