Boston Museum of Fine Arts

About

The moment you open the door and step in, a floor spreading wide beneath the stairs leading up to an open hall comes into view. The stillness felt beneath the high ceiling gives the illusion that time has stood still. Light flowing along the walls seems to trace the brushstrokes of the Impressionist painters, and shadows that seem to repeat Monet's water lilies settle into place. In the halls displaying Eastern paintings and ceramics, a calm fragrance flows like a passing breeze, and the moment you face an Egyptian sculpture, ancient time lightly brushes past your fingertips. The museum is not merely a space for exhibitions, but a place that unfolds a page of life where art and fragrance blend together.
