Good museum with an interesting collection of pieces. Sadly it was completely overrun with children. I understand family outings etc. but, without trying to be a grumpy old grouch, I really wish people wouldn’t bring children who are too young to get any value from the exhibits to contemporary art museums. Young children running about screaming really does ruin the experience for people who want to actually enjoy and immerse themselves in the art.

I love the building, great volumes, clean lines. Awesome museum shop with designer stuff. Big esplanade for outdoor concerts and a bay off the library floor looking into the harbor. I last yesars, there has even been red bull diving competitions from the roof into the harbor. Go on Thursday night's, it's free for all and closes late

The waterfront location of the museum is fantastic. In terms of selection, it's not bad, but it won't have you writing home about it either. It's a tad pricey, and the "café" is really just a couple of vending machines with some chairs on the side.

This is a somewhat smaller museum, but the layout of this place is top notch. Besides enjoying the exhibits there are places where you can take a break to relax and enjoy views of Boston Harbor. They don’t have a bag or cost check here so be prepared to take what you have with you. If you have a bag they will require you carry it to your side.

Great museum (even better than I had expected) with free admission on Thursdays! I saw a great Mark Dion exhibit. Friendly staff. Nice gift shop with a selection of interesting trinkets. Since there were some galleries under construction, I was offered 10% off an item in the gift shop. Not too crowded when I visited (Thursday evening).
