Museum Grounds

The Commonwealth Museum Event and Conference Center is one of only a handful of waterfront properties in Boston. Your guests will enjoy our beautiful gardens and sweeping views of Boston Harbor.

Our seaside grounds are the ideal location for a tented clambake, cocktail reception, corporate family outing, rehearsal dinner, or a delightful banquet dinner. With about 10,800 square feet available for tenting and extra room to fun around, the Museum Grounds can host intimate parties and large affairs alike.

Capacity
350 seated banquet
1,050 cocktail reception

Other outdoor events, such as picnics with games and stations, should be discussed with the Director of Special Events.

The museum grounds are available from April through October.
