Hi folks,
Boston's Museum of Fine Arts has recently opened a new wing- the Art of the Americas wing, featuring works from Ancient American through the 1970s. It's a pretty incredible project, and the wing itself is larger than most medium-sized museums. Each level covers a specific time period, and on the level for 18th-Century Art of the Colonial Americas and Early 19th-Century Art (Level 1), you will be pleased to find the portrait of Paul Revere by John Singleton Copley, featured on everyone's favorite book, Paul Revere's Ride. Go take a peek!
Here's a link that includes the picture and several others from the gallery:

They have his silverwork too.
If anybody cares, I can write up where you can find stuff that belonged to several of the people in our story.
I'd be interested in knowing that. I've heard about Pitcairns pistols and a few other things, but it'd be good to be able to point people to as well.
