Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum

Today we put Meenah into doggy daycare and went to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.

There is a lot of interesting things about the place...here are a few.

Great art like these two painings...

They are from different eras, but each brilliant in its own way.

The galleries surround an enclosed garden full of color, the smells of living plants and flowers. Most of the surrounding galleries have balconies overlooking the gardens.

The paintings famously stolen in 1990 still have empty frames in the places where masterpieces were once displayed.
