4 Panorama Ofﬁ cial Jeweler of the Boston Red Sox LUX BOND & GREEN Lux Bond & Green is proud to be the Ofﬁ cial Jeweler of the Boston Red Sox. We invite you to visit our stores or go online to www.LBGreen.com to view more merchandise.

In honor of Fenway Park’s centennial, the Museum of African American History (refer to listing, page 23) is offering an exhibit on black baseball’s past. The Color of Baseball in Boston highlights little- known stories of the game’s greatest players. The pristinely preserved uniform of Will “Cannonball” Jackman, a Negro League legend, is a special highlight. The exhibit also features historic newspaper clippings, cartoons and photographs, as well as a tribute to hall-of-famer Jackie Robinson. MAAH’s newest exhibit shows that during an era when America was rigidly divided by race, there was still a shared dream of running the diamond and sliding into home. —Benjamin Lindsay

What Boston’s buzzing about Mummy Dearest 6.11.12 Who hasn’t wondered what a mummy looks like up close? At the Museum of Science’s (refer to listing, page 24) expansive new exhibition Lost Egypt: Ancient Secrets, Modern Science, visitors can get up close and personal with a long- departed Egyptian. The culture’s ancient art and society explodes back to life through a wealth of interesting exhibits and breathtaking artifacts on loan from the Brooklyn Museum and the Academy of Natural Sciences. Detailed statuettes and a beautiful collection of canopic jars (left) bearing the heads of various animals are particular treats. Fun, interactive exhibits are also abundant, and they all contain enough activities to keep kids interested for hours on end. —Paul Adler

6 Panorama Hubbub top photo: West newton colored giants, courtesy of Historic Newton Slasher Fashion Horror and high style artfully combine to create the devilish duds of Dance Party Massacre (dpmassacre.bigcartel.com). This cutting-edge clothier, fondly known as DPM, draws inspiration from late 1970s and early ’80s horror movies as well as a healthy dose of rock ’n’ roll and graphic art. Fashion futurist Alex Dakouli left a lucrative job designing footwear to focus on the Boston-based company full- time, which now offers T-shirts, sweatshirts, tank tops, prints and stickers all bearing unforgettable images that blend pop culture and horror chic. “I think the message behind Dance Party Massacre is universal,” says Dakoulis. “Live while you can because life can be short—so do what makes you happy.” Considering a new line of shirts inspired by movie monsters and a recent collaboration with edgy artist Boneface, Dance Party Massacre will be making us very happy for years to come. —Paul Adler

Spice World The first Boston installment of the popular Manhattan food chain, Rosa Mexicano (155 Seaport Blvd., 617-476-6122), offers authentic Mexican cuisine amidst ceramic mosaics, indoor waterfalls and vibrant shades of pink. Mouth- watering guacamole is made at your table, accompanied by freshly made chips and salsa. Dishes such as pollo yucateco—made from organic chicken, plantains and spicy chile de arbol—send taste buds on a whirlwind adventure with a rush of zest and a touch of heat. Rosa’s signature frozen pomegranate margarita complements anything on the menu—including another round. —Kiana Sarabia Strayhorn

British Invasion In the late 1940s when Tibby Wegner approached tennis icon and three-time Wimbledon winner Fred Perry with an idea for a retail line, Perry jumped at the concept. The brand, also named Fred Perry, has gone on to be an important part of British fashion and culture (they were the first to invent the sweatband). Now it’s bringing its traditional Brit style to Boston. In the newly opened Newbury Street location (301 Newbury St., 857-233- 4698), you’ll find slim-fit cotton pique shirts, brightly hued suede shoes and a line designed by the late Amy Winehouse. All are adorned with the signature laurel wreath—an ancient symbol for victory, authenticity, heritage and integrity. —Samantha House bottom photo: Randy Gross BOSTONGUIDE.COM 7 Shining Light on the Dawn of Man Cirque du Soleil’s shows eons apart from its Cirque du soleil’s three-ring counterparts.
