About Metropolitan Waterworks Museum

The Metropolitan Waterworks Museum sits in the rebuilt Chestnut Hill High Service Pumping Station and opened as Waterworks Museum in 2011. Located at 2450 Beacon Street, Boston, MA 02467, this private nonprofit educational museum hosts a range of events—from Waterfest to Special Access Tours—within historic, engineering-forward spaces. Whether you’re planning a corporate gathering, community event, or an intimate group tour, we’ve got you covered with dependable details on venue spaces, transportation, and nearby accommodations.

Two standout event spaces anchor the museum experience: Great Engines Hall, which accommodates up to 120 seated or 200 standing, and the Overlook Gallery, suitable for up to 48 seated or 60 standing. Capacity and layout are flexible to suit your event, with a focus on safety and accessibility. Note that parking is limited, with about 20 parking spaces allocated for museum visitors.

Visitors can access the venue via MBTA lines nearby—Chestnut Hill Ave (Green Line B), Cleveland Circle (Green Line C), and Reservoir (Green Line D)—making transit a convenient option for guests coming from across Boston. For guests staying in the area, several nearby hotels offer comfortable stays and easy access to the museum and surrounding Chestnut Hill/Back Bay neighborhoods.
