Museum of Fine Arts Boston

Visit the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) in Boston's Back Bay. The MFA is the fifth largest museum in the United States, featuring more than 450,000 works of art. Framingham State University undergraduate students in departments within the College of Arts & Humanities (Art and Music, Communication, Media, and Performance, English, Fashion Design and Retailing, History, Liberal Studies, World Languages) get free access when they present their FSU ID with the MFA sticker*.  The sticker offers free admission into the museum, however, it does not cover any additional costs associated with special exhibits.

FSU students, faculty, and staff have free and unrestricted access to all exhibits on display.
