History

The modern Green Line "E" Branch opened on February 16, 1941 with the completion of the Huntington Avenue subway from Copley to the Northeastern Incline. (Before then, trams had run on the surface from the Boylston Street portal).

The station was originally known as Ruggles Street or Ruggles-Museum. After nearby Ruggles station opened in 1987, the station was called Museum (sometimes Museum/Ruggles). The name was changed to Museum of Fine Arts in the 1990s.

The station was made handicapped accessible along with four other E Branch surface stations in a renovation project completed on January 13, 2003.
