The Isabella Stewart Gardner museum would be ideal for that type of plan. It's a relatively small museum, and the building itself is every bit as interesting as its collection. Mrs Gardner herself was also apparently a piece of work.

The Gardner is just a 5- or 10-minute walk from Fenway Park. A very doable plan would be to go to the Gardner museum in the morning, the Boston Beer Works (adjacenbt to the ballyard) for lunch, and then a Fenway tour in the afternoon. (A small note about terminology: 'Fenway' is the name of both the ballpark and a road that half-circumnaviagtes a park called The Fens. The Gardner museum is on Park Drive, which is the road that goes around the other half of The Fens.)
