This Giant Boston Museum Has the Largest Collection of Monet Paintings Outside of France

here’s no need to buy a flight to Europe to see a world-class museum. The Louvre and the British Museum may be immense historical buildings filled with paintings by the great masters, Egyptian mummies, and Greek antiquities, but so is the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston (also known as MFA), and getting there is much easier than making your way to Paris or London. Actually, the MFA, is on par with many reputed museums: it has the largest collection of Monet paintings outside of France, for example, and that alone is reason enough to pay it a visit. Add to it the fact that it’s got over 65,000 pieces of art from Ancient Egypt, Nubia, and the Near East and you’ve got yourself a bucket-list museum.
