Harvard and the Museum of Fine Arts

For both Harvard and the Museum of Fine Arts, I opted not to take my large Canon 7D. Why? Because it's really heavy. To lug the camera, a water bottle, and my computer would have just been too much. So, all the following pictures were taken with my iPhone--which still does a pretty awesome job of helping tell the story.

This isn't in Harvard or the MFA. It's just a pretty picture of a chapel in Boston. 

From 4-9:45pm on Wednesdays, the MFA is free. They suggest a donation for the entrance fee, but Becca and I decided to go in for free.

This is a painting. How is this possible?!

Contemporary art in the MFA. Stunning. 

A neat little art piece which gives some instruction to patrons of the museum. 

First off, the museum is gigantic. It has four floors, and each wing of the floor is themed. There was the European Art floor, Greek/Roman floor, Egyptian floor, Contemporary art wing, Samurai wing, and way more that we didn't have time to see.

Since it's our last day in Boston, we decided to check out Harvard University and Cambridge. Harvard is just like any other university campus--it's large and pretty. After about 20 minutes of walking around, it gets a little repetitive. That being said, it was gorgeous and reminded me a lot of the recent Pixar film, "Monsters University"...which is a terrific film by the way.

The Memorial hall. 

Another shot of the same hall.  

When passing by, I heard a tour guide say that it is tradition for Harvard students to go through this gate only twice. Once when they enter as a new student, and once again when their education has been completed. 

Some people will not like this, but I have been so impressed at the high number of churches in the Boston/Cambridge area with Pride flags. It makes me happy that so many churches are welcoming to all.
