Summer is usually a casual season, but the Museum of Fine Arts is dressed to the nines this month. The MFA has a trio of sparkly, flashy, fun and fashion-forward exhibits now on display: There’s Hallyu! The Korean Wave (running through July 28), which showcases costumes, props, pop culture ephemera and more from the global trendsetter. Beyond Brilliance is ongoing and highlights jewelry in the museum’s collection. And up through September 2, Dress Up features more than 100 works from the MFA’s collection, plus spectacular items on-loan, celebrating 20th- and 21st-century style. From fashions by world-renowned designers to one-of-a-kind accessories and ensembles styled for the likes of Donna Summer and Project Runway, this exhibit looks at the many ways we see ourselves.
