Nichols House Museum Website »
The Nichols House Museum offers a unique glimpse into 19th and early 20th century Bostonian life in a historic Beacon Hill townhouse. The Nichols House Museum was established in 1961 through a legacy from the late Rose Standish Nichols, the last of her family to occupy the home as a residence.
The house is of Federal design and is furnished with priceless possessions gathered from every corner of the globe. They have been accumulated over several generations and include ancestral portraits, Flemish tapestries, oriental rugs, European and Asian art, and works by America's foremost sculptor of the 19th century, Augustus Saint Gaudens.
Participation in Museum Day is open to any tax-exempt or governmental museum or cultural venue on a voluntary basis. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for and does not endorse the content of the participating museums and cultural venues, and does not subsidize museums that participate.
