A Venetian-style palace around a flowering courtyard, filled with art exactly as its founder arranged it, and the empty frames of a famous 1990 heist.

Why Go

Isabella Stewart Gardner built her museum to house her collection of Titian, Rembrandt and Sargent, and her will requires that nothing be moved. In 1990 thieves stole 13 works, still missing; their empty frames hang where they were.
