Gardner Museum

in full  Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum,  

      home and art collection, located in Fenway Court, Boston, Mass., U.S. The building, designed in the style of a 15th-century Venetian palace and built between 1899 and 1903, houses a collection that includes Oriental art and Classical, medieval, and Renaissance sculpture and decorative arts, as well as masterpieces of European painting from the Middle Ages to the late 19th century. Many of the art objects in the collection were acquired for Isabella Stewart Gardner by the famed connoisseur Bernard Berenson. The arrangement of the rooms has remained unchanged, and there have been no additions to the collection since Mrs. Gardner's death in 1924, in accordance with the terms of her will.
