Collective Vision: The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum

[@Ravensbread]

Beautifully presented. I grew up just a few blocks away from the museum, and went there first as a boy, many years ago. My fondest memory is, coming into the museum in the dead of winter, heavy Boston snowstorm billowing outside, and sitting by the central court, transported and transfixed to another time, another place. My favorite painting was Rembrandt's "Christ in a Storm in the Sea of Galilee" and I loved the Vermeer that sat on a nearby table in the same room. Now, sadly missing. I have travelled all over the world and now live far from Boston, but my thoughts often go back to Fenway Court and the beauty of this unique legacy. Thank you Isabella Stewart Gardner and all of you, who work so diligently to keep her vision alive.

How fortunate you were.

I am visiting Boston at the end of the month as a long time New Yorker, what are some places with historical and beautiful views you would recommend? Thank you very much in advance:)

[@agingflowerchild]

I also was a child there and remember snow, just as you've described it. The place was her home, and still feels a bit like the home of someone eccentric and fabulously wealthy. One feels grateful to be invited.

I am an artist and woodworker, I cried with joy and deep deep appreciation for her vision. God Bless you Isabella!!!!!!!!

Thank you for this beautiful souvenir of my favorite place in Boston. It reminds me of many a concert I attended there, so long ago.

This museum especially reminds me of the quote by Fiorella Valdesolo: "Science tells us that looking at beautiful things is a form of self-care. Can it also be making us more beautiful in all ways?".

[@aronnathan6767]

I guess Im quite off topic but does anybody know of a good website to watch new movies online?

[@marcellusjeremias5049]

@Aron Nathan lately I have been using Flixzone. Just search on google for it :)

[@suttonmatthew1142]

ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH THE CONCEPT......A TOTAL SENSUAL EXPERIENCE. EVEN IF i CAN ONLY WATCH IT ON MY SCREEN.

[@Thomas-fu8vp]

I am viewing from here in Italy this evening. It reminds me of Las Vegas. Mrs. Gardner bought that balcony from someone in Venice who was replacing his. Fortunately, all of this exporting of irreplacable Italian works of art was made illegal thereafter.

[@howardlibauer3021]

The painting of Hercules shows him wondering if he had forgotten about that morning’s doctor appointment he had made three weeks prior.

What a collection!!!!

[@petalparker5]

Pity they didn't have a better security system/protocols back in the nineties when it was robbed.

[@classicaldeb]

Right. Still, I'm shocked that this happened!
