subject: Museums Galore In Cultural Mecca Boston [print this page] College town, American heritage hub and the shining city on a hill are just some of Bostons best known identities. But Boston is also a city of museums, with some of the worlds most illustrious institutions taking centre stage in its lengthy repertoire. This of course includes the famed Museum of Fine Arts or the MFA where it literally consumed days to take in all that the museum has on offer. With its renowned Art of the Ancient World collection and a host of familiar masterpieces, it would be fair to describe it as one of the must-see venues in all of Boston. The Institute of Contemporary Art is another highlight while the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum houses the architectural relics as well as the extensive personal art anthology of its namesake. The Harvard Museum located in Cambridge is equally enticing in addition to the Harvard Museum of Natural History although political history buffs should head down to the The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum. Capturing the essence of the dynamic and enigmatic politician that dominated the worlds imagination since he first took the oval office, the life and times of JFK are well-documented in this fitting tribute to a colossal figure in popular culture.
The evolution of American civilisation across the centuries is dealt with in detail at the National Heritage Museum in Boston where the exhibits include colourful items such as neon signs and cultural heroes from Elvis to its first president. Visitors with an interest in the history of Boston town can stop over at the Concord Museum which is famed for its informative and interactive displays that are just as interesting as those found in the Commonwealth Museum which focuses on the legacy of the Bay Colony. One of the best antiquarian museums in Boston includes the Old State House Museum while young visitors must drop in to Boston Children's Museum which always serves as a fantastic way to spend an afternoon. The Museum of Science tracks the progress of human innovation as the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology is a treasure trove for architecture enthusiasts.
