Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum

Hotels near Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston, United States .

Established on New Year’s Day of 1903, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum displays a collection of 2,500 pieces of art, entirely collected by Isabella Stewart Gardner herself. Gardner, a wealthy patron of the arts, began the collection after she inherited a large sum from her father in 1891, and stipulated in her will that the entire collection remain on display for the public in the exact manner in which she had arranged it. The collection itself, while rather small by museum standards, is nevertheless impressive, including the first Matisse obtained by an American collection of art, as well as original manuscripts of Dante and letters from T.S. Elliot and Oliver Wendell Holmes, amongst others. The museum was also victim to one of the largest art thefts in history, with thieves making off with $500 million worth of art in a single night in 1990. The Isabella Stewart Garner Museum is located at 280 The Fenway in Boston’s Fenway-Kenmore neighborhood, and is open from Tuesday through Sunday, 11 A.M. until 5 P.M. Admission is $12 for adults, $10 for seniors, and $5 for students, with anyone named “Isabella” receiving free admission. Paid parking is located across the street from the museum, which is within walking distance of the Museum of Fine Arts, the campus of Northeastern University, and Fenway Park.

Local hotel accommodations include the Best Western Boston, Boston Hotel Buckminster, the Hotel Commonwealth, and the Howard Johnson Boylston Street. Visit http://www.gardnermuseum.org or call (617) 566-1401 for more information.
