Why go
The Academy lets you see how a domestic building became a public art museum. Move between the period interiors and the sculpture gallery to notice the contrast between house and collection. Bird Girl is here, rather than at Bonaventure Cemetery, so this is the right stop for visitors looking for the sculpture associated with the city.
What to look for
- Period rooms
- Sculpture Gallery
- Bird Girl statue
Useful to know
- Give the period rooms and sculpture gallery separate time; they tell different parts of the building’s story.
