One of America's foremost art museums, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) contains an outstanding collection of Asiatic, Egyptian, classical and modern art, European and American decorative arts and sculpture, textiles, apparel, drawings and photography.
The museum's Japanese and Chinese collection is one of the largest in the world, with pieces dating from the sixth to the eighteenth centuries whilst the Egyptian collection has funeral objects almost five thousand years old and a 'pair statue' that is the oldest known example of its kind.
In the early American silver collection are some exquisite pieces by Paul Revere, an accomplished silversmith, whose portrait, by fellow Bostonian John Singleton Copley also hangs in the museum.
