The bus leaves the library promptly at 8:00 a.m. and returns at approx. 5:00 p.m. Cost of the trip is $50.00 (prepaid by April 13) and includes transportation and gallery admission ($35 MFA members). Bus will arrive at the MFA at approx. 10:00 a.m., your visit will be self-guided, lunch may be purchased there, and the bus departs at 3:00 p.m. The featured exhibit in the new wing is "Chihuly: Through the Looking Glass".
