The MFA is showing MLK some love — it is
his day, after all. Got some time off? Put it to good use by stopping by the Museum of Fine Arts (465 Huntington
Avenue, Boston, 617.267.9300) for a free open house honoring Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr.’s legacy between 10 a.m. and 4:45 p.m. Explore photo exhibits
including the much-celebrated Karsh 100:
A Biography in Images and Photographic
Figures; a lecture by Berklee’s Dr. William Banfield on the roots of music;
a poetry slam featuring spoken-word performances by Boston University’s Speak
for Yourself; plus guided tours of the museum’s collections. We have a dream
that this is the year we’ll all use our mid-January holiday for something more
inspiring than sleeping in.
