Boston has wonderful art museums! It embraces the arts. One such example is the splendid collection of the Museum of Fine Arts. There is a traveling show now of John Singer Sargent watercolors; if you possibly can, please visit.
These are the actual vases in the Boit Children's portrait by Sargent
Sargent was also very good at watercolors; this is from the traveling show.
The Museum is also chockablock with treasures of all eras, full rooms lifted from palaces, fabulous paintings, mummies, and of course a great collection of oil paintings by my personal fave: the aforementioned John Singer Sargent. Tickets are usable for revisiting within ten days-- a true value, since there is way too much to see in one day. (My hoofies are killing me. )
Yours in art,

What a mastery of textures!
One of the most beautiful paintings ever

Dramatic bed, Sargents galore, and much more: the Museum of Fine Arts ranks up with the very best. Carlo and Mike soak it all in.
