the gibson house museum
a time capsule of domestic life from the mid-nineteenth to early-twentieth centuries
The Gibson House Museum is a private, nonprofit house museum in Boston's historic Back Bay neighborhood. The home served as residence to three generations of Gibson family members and their household staff between 1859 and 1954. The Museum’s four floors of period rooms, including the original kitchen, are a time capsule of domestic life in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Visitors experience the house through guided tours that interpret class and culture through the stories and objects of the people who lived and worked there.
We are closed for the time being, but you can still engage with us here and through Instagram, Facebook, and our blog. Please consider supporting the Gibson House during these uncertain times with a donation or membership.
The 2020 Online Raffle helped generate funding that might have usually come from the Museum's Annual Benefit (canceled due to COVID-19). We could still use your help while we continue to preserve and share the Gibson House. Please consider a donation or membership today.
