See “El Greco to Velázquez: Art During the Reign of Philip III” at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts. Anchored by two giants of Spanish painting, this exhibition highlights the masterpieces of Philip III’s court. From April 20 to July 27; mfa.org.

Rent “Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead.” Two brothers (Philip Seymour Hoffman and Ethan Hawke) conspire to rob their own parents’ jewelry store in Sidney Lumet’s dark, high-octane family melodrama, in which everything that could go wrong does. It’s Lumet’s best flick in ages.

Hear “Orbit” by Maiysha on myspace.com/maiyshamusic. This Brooklyn-bred songstress’s soulful sound incorporates hip-hop, jazz and funk that is just as comfortable on the dance floor as at a backyard barbecue. Her debut album hits stores in June.

Go to the 34th annual Toyota Grand Prix in Long Beach, Calif. The event, which includes concerts, a pro/celebrity race and an exhibition on alternative-energy vehicles, culminates in the Champ Car race (April 18–20; gplb.com).

Ride the Pulse Kick ’N Go Xcelerator scooter ($199.99; pulsekickngo.com). Pump the pedal in back to make this sturdy scooter fly. Don’t forget your helmet.
