Wednesday Doorway


This week's doorway is the front entrance to the Museum of Fine Arts on Huntington Avenue, which recently re-opened after extensive renovations. Below is a close up of the front doors.

  1. Wonderful photos. Quite an impressive building both inside and out. I usually make there during one of free admission periods. A very nice benefit they offer the community.

  2. I have seen MFA only on books, I know this is one of the best museum of the world. You first photo is stunning: the manicured lawn, the statues and the majestic building with the great tree on the left.
    The second is really a great wood-paneled door. Great images.

  10. Great photo. I'm glad that they have finished with this part of the renovation.

    What about a photo of the Forsyth which the MFA recently purchased? The tall windows on the front give some idea as to how enormous the space is on the inside. I spent 3 years studying orthodontics at the Forsyth and I am periodically nostalgic.

    Too bad the 'greasy spoon' in the basement of the nearby building closed. I ate breakfast there, every week day, for 3 years.

  11. OK, I love everything here: the building, the lawn, Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese, the statue (is it really what I think it is?) and the door, yes, even the door.
