I only went here for the first time recently and wow it’s such a gem. A day pass gets you access to all of the libraries and you can just while the whole day away reading and looking at curiosities. Added bonus of overlooking one of Boston’s many revolutionary war cemeteries.
Went to the Cloisters recently and had the loveliest time. Also a good spot to read or journal - so many gardens and grassy spots outside, very serene. Free tix with my library card :~)
usually you get reciprocal access to 1000s of other museums, historic sites, gardens etc across the country!! very cool! not to even mention free/lower price for openings, exhibitions, and parties that are hosted by the museum.
Terrific museum if you enjoy Greek history. I used to go fairly regularly before the fires, hope it opens again soon. Very peaceful place to just sit and read or listen to music. Seabreeze blows in from the ocean over the courtyard pool giving it a nice chill.
