Boston, MA –

Like most other major cities in the United States, Boston has a Museum of Fine Arts (MFA).   The permanent collect features paintings from various periods and international ancient artifacts ranging from Egyptian to Roman to Asian. The museum has two extremely wide ramps on either side of the main entrance. Once inside, a wheelchair user is able to glide across the smooth tile from exhibit to exhibit with little effort; clearly marked elevators take you from floor to floor and wheelchair accessible restrooms can be found on either floor. In almost every room there is a museum staff member who can assist you as needed.

Boston is a relatively flat city, and around neighborhood of MFA is especially flat. Someone in a manual wheelchair with good long-walk endurance would enjoy scenery of “walking” there. However, for whatever reason you’d rather take public transportation than Boston offers a great option. Literally right outside the Museum of Fine Arts is a station.
