Public Transportation
Subway
Because our limited parking fills up quickly—especially during popular exhibitions and school vacation weeks—we encourage you to take advantage of the MBTA, Boston's public transportation system (known by natives as the "T").
Take the Green Line "E" train to the "Museum of Fine Arts" stop, or the Orange Line train to the "Ruggles" stop.
Fare for the T begins at $1.70 for adults. Pricing information and passes are available at subway stations.
Bus
Take the 39 bus to the "Museum of Fine Arts" stop, or the 8, 47, or CT2 buses to the "Ruggles" stop.
Learn more about Boston's "T" system. |

Visitors now have three parking options when visiting the Museum: the Huntington Lot, the Fenway Lot, and the Museum Road Garage, all of which have entrances on Museum Road. The parking lots offer close and convenient parking to the State Street Corporation Fenway and Huntington Avenue entrances to the MFA. Please take your parking ticket with you; all parking facilities are automated. Payment for parking may be made in the lobby of the State Street Corporation Fenway Entrance, the garage lobby, and by credit or debit card at the exit lanes of the lots. Scan your membership card to receive the discounted rate. For additional information, please call the garage at 617-369-3657.
