The Gibson House Museum is a private nonprofit house museum located in Boston's historic Back Bay neighborhood, showcasing domestic life from the mid-nineteenth to early-twentieth centuries. Occupied by three generations of the Gibson family and their household staff from 1859 to 1954, the museum features four floors of period rooms, offering guided tours that delve into the intersection of class and culture through the stories and objects of those who lived and worked there.

Visitors can explore the home through immersive guided tours, highlighting its original kitchen and well-preserved artifacts. The museum operates exclusively on a tour basis, accommodating a limited number of guests while providing a unique glimpse into Boston's rich domestic history.
