It needs to do more than just invite people to the museum itself, Third Decade writes:
... They have a great series of programs for kids, but where is the programming that engages young professionals or adults of color? Where's their support for any of the Boston Open Studios? If they want to engage people of color who are interested in the arts, why not support or have some connection to Roxbury, Dorchester, or JP Open Studios at least? Additionally, they missed a golden opportunity during Roxbury Film Festival. Hundreds of people of color, including myself, came to the museum to view some of the films being screened there. Not once was I asked to become a member nor did anyone suggest that I explore some of the collections or even the bookstore. Was the marketing department asleep for the entire year prior to the film festival? ...

Joel Brown reports on the museum's re-opened Fenway entrance and new visitor center, which reporters, employees and big donors got a tour of today - and which everybody can see for free on Sunday:
... My favorite part of the Fenway project is "Day and Night," a two-part sculpture by Antonio Lopez Garcia, which has been outside the Huntington doors for a few months and flanks the re-opened Fenway entrance. Even [museum honcho] Rogers refers to the sculpture as "the giant baby heads," which sounds hilarious when he says it in that plummy accent of his. The sculpture adds an odd, arty, irreverent tone to the scene, which helps set off the forbidding monumentality of that face of the museum, with its 22 Ionic columns, each 36 feet tall. The baby heads are only 8 feet tall, and weigh about a ton and a half each, but they make a dramatically wacky statement in their present position. Kudos to Gail and Ernest von Metzsch for the gift. ...
