At the beginning of the 20th century, heiress and philanthropist Isabella Stewart Gardner built a home modeled after a 15th-century Venetian palace. Gardener was a great patroness of famous artists, such as James Whistler and John Singer Sargent. She also acquired European masterpieces, and her palace is now a museum filled with works by Titian, Matisse, Rembrandt, and Raphael. The courtyard is an oasis in any season, filled with beautiful plants and flowers. Admission: adults USD10-11, seniors USD7, college students (with ID) USD5, children (under 18) free.

- The gardens and tour.
- Nothing.
“Of all the museums I've seen in Boston and the world, I think this one is my overall favorite. The whole idea behind the museum is great and the free tour is a must to really understand who Isabella Gardener was and what exactly she was trying to do with this museum. The gardens are beautiful and the organization of the art is enough to keep even the most reluctant museum visitor intrigued. Worth the money, even if time is limited.”
