This place is as interesting on the outside as on the inside. The computer room is incredible, and the kids art room is great, too. Definitely try the cafe because the food's good and not too pricey.
I love this museum! Doesn't feel stuffy...probably because of all the gorgeous plants and flowers in the courtyard.
I haven't been yet, but hear that "Gardner After Hours" events every third Thursday are a fun event.
The Fogg Museum at Harvard has a beautiful, extensive collection of art. Only a fraction of it is on display at one time, and they rotate frequently. Unfortunately, they will be closing for renovations soon.
Also check out the new Institute of Contemporary Art on the waterfront, which has a gorgeous new building and really interesting exhibits. It's worth seeing!
