A visit to the "ISG" Museum is well worth it. The collection of all things "art" was quite fascinating. It's quirky, it's eclectic, but oh so very interesting. Don't be fooled and think you'll just see paintings. To the contrary, there is so much more than the famous paintings at ISG. Everyone will find something to interest them. On site... More 

This is not your average museum. The building is as interesting as the exhibits. It's amazing what she did in putting this museum together at that time in history. Every local got exited when we told them where we go because everyone loves this place. I know you don't like museums. Trust me this one you'll like. Too bad about... More 

A collection of mostly European art by one very wealthy lady - with taste!. All amazing displayed in her Italian style home. A calming place and very good value. You will have to taxi or metro.

We found this attraction a little difficult to find using public transportation. Admission was included with our Go Boston Card and I had heard many good things about the museum. We arrived to find the attraction we wanted to see closed due to renovations on that floor. This was a huge disappointment to me and if this had been shown... More 

Mrs Gardener collected and collected and collected! She bought pieces from all over the world and decided to build somewhere to show them off.

The collection is full of different objects - furniture, paintings, pottery, glass and tapestry.

Having a historic building house the artifacts of a museum is a great idea and I'm glad someone had the sense to keep this place maintained the way it was meant to be. The museum is just a quick ride on the green line train from downtown Boston to the Fine Arts Museum stop (these two locations make for a... More 

This place brought so many memories back from my trip to Venice. The art is wonderful, but the courtyard stole my heart. Although no one is allowed in the courtyard itself, we sat on the stone benches surrounding it and it was such a wonderful experience. I love museums, and this one became a favorite. The pictures I took, don't... More 

The famous heist area where paintings were stolen was closed. There are ways to get discounts, check that before going. The cafe was absolutely outstanding with a delightful outside eating area with excellent service.

Our visit to the museum was highlighted by a free one hour guided tour led by one of the teaching staff. She was so knowledgeable about the numerous works of art throughout the museum, and helped us to understand so much more about the works of art and about ISG than we would have on our own. Even though the... More
