5 Things Not to Miss
The breathtaking sculptures of Arthur Ganson are reason enough to visit the MIT Museum (265 Mass. Ave.; 617/253-4444). Another: the hilarious photos of student pranks. • Harvard's Fogg Art Museum (32 Quincy St.; 617/495-9400), which surrounds a lovely courtyard, is strong on Renaissance and Impressionist works and on Sargent and Whistler. • Charles River Canoe & Kayak (617/965-5110; www.paddleboston.com), across the river in Allston, provides rentals and tours along the Charles. • Founded in 1831, the Mount Auburn Cemetery (580 Mount Auburn St.; 617/ 547-7105), with 175 acres of ponds, hills, and gardens, is more park than graveyard, though 93,000 people are buried here. • The Brattle Theater (40 Brattle St.; 617/876-6837) remains the model for repertory houses, screening cult classics, foreign films, and current indies.
