If you’re looking for a romantic destination to spend some quality time with your sweetheart this Valentine’s Day, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA) offers up masterpieces depicting love and romance to inspire you.
If the economy is preventing that trip to a luxurious destination, then
promenade through Paris in the exhibition Café and Cabaret:
Toulouse-Lautrec’s Paris, hold hands and gaze up at Sargent’s soaring
murals cascading over the grand Huntington Avenue stairs, or get struck
by an arrow while standing in front of a sculpture of cupid, the god of
love in the MFA’s Greek and Roman gallery.

Si la ecomía no te permite un viaje de fin de semana a un romántico
café de París, o una exploración para visitar a los dioses
greco-romanos del amor, todo se soluciona con una visita al Museo de
Bellas artes de Boston (MFA) que tiene las piezas de arte más
románticas para que tú y tu pareja celebren el día del amor.
Además el Museo ha programado un concierto titulado Love is in the Air que será unterpretado por el Boston Museum Trio, un brunch romántico en el restaurante bravo y un evento en conjunto con Boston Lyric Opera. Todos los eventos se llevan a cabo el fin de semana de San Valentín (Sábado 13 y domingo 14 de febrero) Para más información sobre los costos de admisión para los diferentes eventos, visita www.mfa.org.
