The museum says it's about Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960–1988) who became a "galvanizing, iconic frontrunner of this transformational and insurgent movement in contemporary American art." The virtual exhibition will feature his works in "painting, sculpture, drawing, video, music, and fashion."

Mike Birbiglia's Comedy For The Wilbur
The Worcester-born comedian is raising money for the Boston theater he called his "favorite place to perform" by doing live chats on his Instagram and raising donations that will go to the Wilbur's employees.
"I'm gonna jump on Instagram Live with some of my best friends in comedy (including John Mulaney, Roy Wood Jr., Gary Gulman, Jacqueline Novak, Nikki Glaser, and Maria Bamford) and work on new jokes to raise money for the staffers of comedy clubs we love that are currently closed because of COVID-19," Birbiglia said. Keep an eye on his Instagram page to see when he's next performing on the small-screen.
Bring New England's Zoo To You
Lots of families like to visit the zoo on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Thanks to Zoo New England, there is still a virtual way to visit so you don't have to miss out on what all your favorite animals are up to during lockdown.
Zoo To You events will be held every day at 1:30 p.m. on Zoo New England's Facebook pages. The zoo says you can tune in for a "daily dose of animal cuteness, chats with our care staff, crafts and activities to do at home, and more!"
