We went to "Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum" with my classmates, there were a lot of paintings, sculptures and historical stuff, it was amazing. It was forbidden take pictures so we didn't take pictures in the museum.
Who was Isabella Gardner?
Isabella Stewart (1840-1924) was born in New York and married Bostonian John Lowell Gardner, in 1860. The Gardners' wide travels inspired a passion for art that became a passion for collection after 1891, when Isabella's father left her his fortune. Advised by friends and, especially, Bernard Berenson, a connoisseur of Italian Renaissance art, Isabella Gardner soon accumulated a remarkable collection and began planning for a building to house it. After Jack Gardner died in 1898, Isabella continued the project and bought land in the little-developed Fenway. She hired and architect, but with characteristic energy and confidence, she insisted that the building be built to her own specifications. Fenway Court, as she called her museum, opened in 1903.
