Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
<p>Although I’ve only been once, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, Massachusetts, will always be one of my favorites. Unlike some of the other museums I’ve had the privilege to visit (and some of those my parents dragged me to when I was young), The Gardner feels like a comfortable space to explore as a non-art historian.</p>
<p>From 1889 to 1901, Isabella Stewart Gardner funded and designed the museum to house her collection of fine art, making it less like a traditional institution and more a window into her personal vision and taste. She reportedly spent an entire year inside the Renaissance-inspired palace arranging her collection, which included paintings, sculptures, furniture, textiles, silver, and ceramics.</p>
