The MFA
September 29, 2006
On Thursday night, my friend and I decided to take the Boston/Providence Connection to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Basically, the Boston/Providence Connection is a bus that goes into the city (for a bargain rate of $1) for some sort of event. The tickets for the Connection usually get sold out quickly, and needless to say the entire bus was full!

It was “College Night at the MFA”, so a group of college students from Boston and around it gathered for a free concert, free food, and free admission! We left campus at around 6PM and got to the MFA a little before 8PM, so Shannon and I decided to grab a bite to eat, and by the time we got back a huge group of people were gathered outside the museum! The crowd that attended College Night was very colorful, to say the least and they filled the galleries and halls inside the museum. It is so popular that last year, there were about 1600 people who went to college night at the MFA.
It was an absolutely beautiful night! Joanna Newsom performed in the courtyard and it was packed! We were lucky to get tickets. I documented our night in a series of pictures:
Shannon viewing the Indian art at the “Domains of Wonder” exhibit, a show that I particularly enjoyed.

A bit embarassing, but this was our transportation to and from Wheaton!
All in all, I was tired from the night but I had a great time! It was refreshing to get off campus to meet people and explore Boston. Thanks for reading, that’s all for now but I’ll keep you posted!
