Things to Know in Fenway-Kenmore Today, Jan. 9: Contemporary Art at MFA

1. Weather: The National Weather Service is predicting a partly sunny day with a high of 47 degrees. Here's hoping today's weather melts the rest of that snow!

2. Contemporary Art at the MFA: Curious about Contemporary art? Contemporary art can generate some great discussions and questions. How was it made? What events in our lifetime inspired the artist? What do you think the artist meant to say? Join knowledgeable Museum of Fine Arts (465 Huntington Ave) staff for a 15-minute discussion about some of the key works of art in the newly installed Contemporary galleries in the Linde Family Wing today at 6:30 p.m. See here for more details.
