The Alchemist Tours

You don't need to tussle with the crowds inside a bustling gallery to enjoy art — often, you can find it outdoors. Feast your eyes on some interesting works at The Alchemist.

Traveling on a shoestring? The fact that The Alchemist won't cost you a cent will be music to your ears. This outdoor arts display is located in the commercial neighborhood of Mid-Cambridge and just one of many things to see and do around here. Fenway Park, Boston Common and Faneuil Hall Marketplace will be waiting for you too.

8/10 Very Good! (1,006 reviews)
Room was average. Kind of disappointed that the restaurant and bar were closed. Didn’t really offer a lot of information about the area. The building was having maintenance while , outside painting.
