About the Event
The life of Boston’s arts patroness typifies the lives of many of the wealthy and cultured Americans who lived during the Gilded Age of American history. We will explore the details of Isabella Stewart Gardner’s life, friends, travels and collections. She broke all kinds of rules while setting up her museum but perhaps we can understand this when we read her personal motto, “It is my pleasure.” Led by art historian Mary Woodward, who serves as a guide at several Historic New England properties, and 40+ years of experience in museums of all shapes and sizes.
