I paid a visit to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum for the first time since before the pandemic began. It was nice to get there early on a relatively uncrowded day and have some of the galleries to myself. The Gardner Museum used to be strict about prohibiting photography but in these Instagramable days they now allowed picture-taking without a flash. So I tried to make my own art through photography. I also enjoyed the audio tours that are now available through smartphones.
Here’s my full album of photos from the day: https://www.othemts.com/IsabellaStewartGardnerMuseum/

I like them all but the statue with the flower is probably my favorite. Did that used to be someone’s residence?

Sort of. It was always intended as a museum but Isabella Stewart Gardner collected all the art and had it arranged to her specifications, and she had an apartment on the top floor.
The story behind this museum is fascinating: https://www.gardnermuseum.org/about/building-isabellas-museum

Wow! You’re right that is fascinating. She was able to make her dreams come true, with a little help from her father. I wonder where all of his money came from… The end result is magnificent. Meijer Gardens has an area in it that reminds me of that space (without all of the expensive artwork.)
