Sun. June 21

It's Fathers Day and Dad may be on the golf course or watching golf on TV or the ballgame or usual Dad kinds of things. But maybe Dad would like to experience ... art. Stranger things have happened. Especially, when you tell him it's all free and at the Museum of Fine Arts, not a shabby little back corner gallery. Nope, we got superstars here: "Titian, Tintoretto, (he did the painting you see here): Veronese: Rivals in Renaissance Venice." (Tickets for this will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.) Visitors can participate in gallery activities and guided tours, and view the permanent collection and all special exhibitions, including "Viva Mexico: Edward Weston and His Contemporaries;" "Vida y Drama: Modern Mexican Prints," and "Showa Sophistication: Japan in the 1930s." Open 10 a.m. - 4:45 p.m. This free day is part of the MFA’s new 9 in ’09 initiative, offering free Museum admission once per month (nine times) through 2009.
