This past August we enjoyed a morning visit to the
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, an art museum in Boston centered around this glorious courtyard that changes with the seasons. The museum was opened in 1903, established for the education and enjoyment of the public forever. The art featured in the museum includes European, Asian, and American studies represented in painting, tapestries, sculptures, and decorative arts.
Between the floral bounty and the Spanish atmosphere, the courtyard was a major focal point as the welcoming center of the museum. We were able to wander from different rooms to experience the amazing collection. Isabella Stewart Gardner had an eye for collecting.
The museum is most famous for the
unresolved robbery of thirteen paintings that occurred in 1990 by men dressed as police officers investigating a disturbance. In less than an hour and a half, they slashed painting from their frames, and escaped without issue. The empty picture frames continue to hang in the museum in hopes that they will be returned,
