Prince William and Princess Catherine of Wales made a whirlwind visit to Boston on Thursday — but swaths of the city were unimpressed. "It makes sense, even centuries later, that Boston can’t care about the monarchy," a local historian said. nyti.ms/3F0JklH

Bostonians’ Take on the Royals’ Whirlwind Visit? Whatevah. (Published 2022)

As breathless online commentary tracked the royal couple’s every move during their visit, swaths of their host city remained unimpressed.

“Turner’s Modern World” at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, is “an eruptive reassessment,” our critic writes. It shows the artist as a painter of commerce and slavery, and of technological innovation that would split the sky. nyti.ms/3NWz29R

J.M.W. Turner: The Romantic Turns Reformist (Published 2022)

Britain’s commander of the churning waves was also a painter of technology and industry. The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston shows how he reshaped an art form.

Today is #ElectionDay in the @CityOfBoston 🗳️ This ceremonial staff, known as “The Boston Mace” (1727) was a symbol of the mayor’s authority in the English town of Boston. It would have been present when civic business was conducted.
