ESTABAN LISA

Boston College’s McMullen Museum of Art moved into its new digs, a gorgeous Neo-Renaissance palazzo overlooking downtown Boston, last year. The former residence of the Archbishop of Boston, has been extensively renovated and restored and the building now only portends promise. Especially when Elizabeth Thompson Goizueta is in the mix. After knockout retrospectives of Cuban artists Wifredo Lam and Rafael Soriano, the fiercely smart curator sets her sights on Spanish-Argentinian painter Esteban Lisa in the exhibition The Abstract Cabinet opening Sept. 16. It’ll make you swoon, and die to collect. Free, 2101 Commonwealth Ave., bc.edu/gn-artmuseum
