Hi Mikhail,

Definitely get to the Harvard Art Museums including the Fogg and the Sackler
(classical and Asian). Also go to the Harvard Peabody Museum Anthropology and
Ethnology for Mayan, African, North American.

Be sure to visit the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.

If you get out to the further western suburbs, investigate the DeCordova
Museum and sculpture park.

For arts of China, Japan, and colonial American life, the Peabody Essex
Museum in Salem.

If you want to see a tiny, nascent, museum, go to  Cyrus E. Dallin Art Museum
in Arlington, right in the center of town. Hours 12-4 daily, on the #77 bus
line. Third gallery to open this fall. Give me a call if you want to hear how
we have been putting it together.

I'm afraid that going to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston is a political
statement these days for museum workers, like crossing an invisible picket
line.
