Review & FAQ:

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum opened in 1903 with a visual arts and musical celebration.

Today, it is a collection of decorative and fine art and a vibrant venue for contemporary musicians, scholars, and artists.

The museum is located in a marvelous 15th century Venetian-style palace with three stories of galleries surrounding a courtyard in full bloom.

The collection features more than 2,500 sculptures, paintings, tapestries, rare books, manuscripts, furniture, and decorative arts.

In the galleries, visitors can find works by Rembrandt, Titian, Raphael, Michelangelo, Botticelli, Degas, Manet, Sargent, and Whistler. It is a singular treasure.
