Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum

Worldly collection, intimate space

Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum

Remember visiting the mansion of that eccentric aunt who brought back Medieval columns from Venice, Buddha sculptures from China, had a darling self-portrait of Rembrandt, and partied with artists like John Singer Sargent?

Well, now you can at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.

The tasteful collection is kept intact exactly as Isabella placed it in her house.

There are no labels, but a curated audio guide is available. 13 Empty frames relate to works taken during an art heist in 1990, including Vermeer’s The Concert.
