Behind Bars
Boston
Spend a night in The Liberty Hotel, a historic building that was once The Charles Street Jail. Opening this summer, the 300-room luxury hotel has vestiges of jail cells within the lobby bar, and another area is adorned with a mosaic of tiles that depict images of the former jail. Relax in rooms with views of the Charles River and the Boston skyline—and feel free to leave at any time.

Fashion Royalty
Indianapolis
Christian Dior was a fashion designer who considered couture an art on par with architecture and painting. On June 10, “Dior: The King of Couture,” at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, will go back in time and examine how this designer revolutionized the Paris fashion industry immediately after World War II, and became one of the most prolific artists of the 20th century.
