Public Transportation
Subway
Because our limited parking fills up quickly—especially during popular exhibitions—we encourage you to take advantage of the MBTA, Boston's public transportation system (known by natives as the "T").
Take the Green Line "E" train to the "Museum of Fine Arts" stop, or the Orange Line train to the "Ruggles" stop.
Fare for the T begins at $1.70 for adults. Pricing information and passes are available at subway stations.
Bus
Take the 39 bus to the "Museum of Fine Arts" stop, or the 8, 47, or CT2 buses to the "Ruggles" stop.
