In case you missed what went on in Boston this weekend, here’s a look back at some haute happenings.

Renaissance Italy came to Boston at the Museum of Fine Arts with the Boticelli and The Search for the Divine exhibit that opened here. The largest display of his works in the United States is now on display through July 9.

We were proud to see Boston’s best chef Barbara Lynch made Time 100’s list for one of the most influential people (the only chef to make the list as well).
