Ah, long weekends. I don’t know about you, but I cherish that extra day off and always look to enjoy it properly by doing something special. This long weekend, I’m envisioning catching up with friends while soaking up a little culture. Lucky for us Bostonians, on Monday, January 17, the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) is openings its doors to the public for free in honor of the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday.
Made possible courtesy of the Citizens Bank Foundation, the MFA’s free open house runs from 10:00 a.m. – 4:45 p.m. and is an excellent opportunity to check out the museum’s new Art of the Americas wing. As if the new wing and free admission weren’t incentive enough, the MFA has also organized a variety of special programs that celebrate the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr., including concerts from musicians at The Berklee College of Music and interactive art activities.
Much better than spending your day in an office, right?
The Museum of Fine Arts is located along the Avenue of the Arts at 465 Huntington Avenue in Boston. For more information, please visit the MFA’s website: http://www.mfa.org/
