Founded in part by Eric Carle, the renowned author and illustrator of more than 70 books, including the 1969 classic The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art is the first full-scale museum in this country devoted to national and international picture book art, conceived and built with the aim of celebrating the art that we are first exposed to as children.
The Museum features three Galleries dedicated to rotating exhibitions of picture book art, a hands-on Art Studio, an Auditorium for performances and lectures, a comfortable Library for reading and storytelling, a Café serving simple and delicious fare, and a Museum Shop stocked with creative gifts and old and new picture book favorites.

Endless Avenues of Art and Culture

Boston's cultural calendar is seemingly endless. Whatever your interest, Boston has something for you: fine art, contemporary art, hands-on-science exhibits, historical relics, the latest computer technology and world-class performances. You can dive into the New England Aquarium, or soar 50 stories above the street with a visit to the Skywalk Observatory, where you’ll take in magnificent 360-degree views of Boston and beyond. For the Traveling Family, there’s Boston Children's Museum, one of the best in the country. If you’re of the scientific mind, be sure to visit the Museum of Science, which features over 600 exhibits. For the naturalist, the Harvard Museum of Natural History has over 21 million specimens for you to examine. And of course, there is the Museum of Fine Arts, the cutting edge Institute of Contemporary Art, the Boston Opera, the Boston Ballet and so much more.

Come to the MFA and see masterpieces from around the world and across the ages. At every turn, you’ll find breathtaking works of art, from masters of American painting to the icons of Impressionism, from exquisite Asian scrolls to ancient Egyptian mummies. We have a rich collection of American art including such icons as Paul Revere’s silver Liberty bowl and masterpieces by John Singer Sargent, Mary Cassatt, and Winslow Homer. Our collection of Asian art is unrivaled in size, scope, and distinction in the Western world, and we own the finest collection of Monets outside of Paris.
