Another opportunity to indulge your wanderlust is at the Embassy of Argentina’s (1600 New Hampshire Ave., NW) new exhibition of photographs by Diego Ortiz Mugica, which feature Argentina’s national parks. The exhibit is part of the country’s bicentennial celebration. The opening will have wine and music. 6 to 8:30; no RSVP necessary.
