Event Details

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston houses an exquisite collection of art spanning centuries and cultures, all displayed in a stunning Venetian-style palazzo. This program offers visitors a glimpse into the fascinating world of Isabella Stewart Gardner, an eccentric patron of the arts who carefully curated every aspect of her eclectic museum. From masterpieces by Rembrandt and Titian to delicate textiles and precious works on paper, the Gardner Museum invites you to explore a captivating blend of art, history, and one woman's extraordinary vision.
