BOSTON, Mass. - December 07, 2006 - This week on Morning Edition, we've been talking about the first new art museum to be built in Boston in almost a hundred years: the Institute of Contemporary Art. The museum is holding a community open house this Sunday as part of the official opening of its new home on Boston's waterfront.
