A phenomenal collection of works of art, exquisite gardens and captivating music programs!

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is at once an intimate collection of fine and decorative art and a vibrant, innovative venue for contemporary artists, musicians and scholars. Housed in a stunning 15th-century Venetian-style palace with three stories of galleries surrounding a sun- and flower-filled courtyard, the Museum provides an unusual backdrop for the viewing of art. The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum's preeminent collection contains more than 2,500 paintings, sculptures, tapestries, furniture, manuscripts, rare books and decorative arts. The galleries house works by some of the most recognized artists in the world, including Titian, Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Raphael, Botticelli, Manet, Degas, Whistler and Sargent. The spirit of the architecture, the personal character of the arrangements and the artistic display of the enchanting courtyard in full bloom all create an atmosphere that distinguishes the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum as an intimate and culturally-rich treasure.

Harkening back to the founding ideas of the Museum, the Sunday Concert Series, Young Artists Showcase, Avant Gardner, and Jazz at the Gardner concerts provide a musical richness to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and feature some of the most remarkable and renowned musicians in the world. Held in the inspirational Tapestry Room, the concerts allow visitors to enjoy classical and jazz music while surrounded by rich tapestries woven in Brussels and dating from the mid-sixteenth century.

Isabella Stewart Gardner designed her Museum around a central flowering courtyard as a reflection of her personal love of flowers. The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is unique in featuring a garden as the physical and imaginative center of the Museum - and the courtyard is a highly memorable aspect of the larger Museum experience.
