Spotlight on Museum Passes — Museum of Fine Arts

Did you know that the Billerica Public Library offers a number of different passes to museums and attractions throughout New England? The passes are available for the use of Merrimack Valley Library Consortium card holders, and can be reserved up to 60 days in advance.

Today’s spotlight is on the Museum of Fine Arts. This Boston museum, in existence since July 4, 1876, is one of the most comprehensive art museums in the world, with a collection of almost 500,000 works of art, ranging from ancient Egyptian artifacts to contemporary painting, sculpture and video. In addition, there are always special exhibitions on view, opportunities to take advantage of educational programs — some right in the galleries — and a contemplative Japanese garden.

This pass admits up to two people, and entitles each visitor to $10 MFA general admission, redeemable at any ticket desk. The pass does not allow for discounts on shopping, parking, dining, films, concerts, lectures/seminars or courses.

Regular admission for adults is $25, seniors (65 or older) is $23, students (18 or older) is $23. *Children aged 6 and under are admitted free at all times. Youth ages 7-17 are admitted for $10 on school days until 3 p.m. At all other times, youth 17 and under are admitted free. Applicable price adjustments will be made upon admission.
