Beatiful place to loiter while enjoying art
Wednesday, May 17, 2006
Tucked away behind the MFA, it'd be easy to miss the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and that would be a shame. Housed in the former home of its namesake, the museum is a gorgeous sprawl of lush courtyards surrounded by works of art becoming of such a beautiful home. You won't find tons of big names here (although the huge John Singer Sargent painting alone is worth the visit), but what you will find is a lovely collection worth spending an hour or so visiting. Perfect for a sunny afternoon when you can just sit and admire the beauty around you.
