I just got one at the door - played dumb about buying on line

Yes, parking is tough everywhere there. Sundays can be a little easier, because the restrictions often don't apply.

The location is near a number of specialized schools so is congested. Public transportation is readily available and a better choice than driving. If driving, the parking garage for the Boston Museum of Fine Art is about a short block away from the Gardner. The best days and time to visit are any week day in the PM.

Sorry I do not know...there is a coat check.

Yes it’s s wonderful oasis of cool and dark places

I believe you can buy tickets online. And based on the lines we were in & they had only gotten longer when we left, I would say 40' is probably not unusual.

Yes

Yes you can, just go on the website (sorry but the tripadvisor system does not allow me to type the link for you) Be careful about possible discounts, for example, ladies called Isabella do not pay, on some days they do have special discounts for example when I went you could enter for free if you were American Bank customer and since I had no evidence with me I could not benefit from it, so I would maybe make a call before purchasing. Also, remember that if you were at the Museum of Fine Arts, by showing the tickets you have to pay very little money (this is valid also viceversa). Hope it help! Enjoy your visit!! Claudia

Take the E branch of the Green Line of Boston's T to the Museum of Fine Arts stop. The Gardner is just behind the MFA, a short walk.
