Venetian Inspiration

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is a stunning art museum housed in a building modeled after a 15th-century Venetian palace. Founded by Isabella Stewart Gardner and opened to the public in 1903, the museum displays her personal collection of world-class art.

The collection includes paintings, sculptures, tapestries, and decorative arts from Europe, Asia, and America. The museum is also famous for its lush central courtyard garden, which blooms year-round, providing a serene oasis amidst the artistic treasures.
