Surrounding a lovely, peaceful courtyard, the three floors of fine art and decorative art pieces that make up the galleries of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum offer visitors the chance to explore a broad range of arts from all around the world. The museum is housed within a structure designed to imitate Venetian palace from the 1400s, but the art contained within ranges from ancient Roman to Islamic to American in origin. Other events run by the museum include a long-running concert series and arts education programs. Set in the heart of the Fenway-Kenmore neighborhood, the museum is beside the Massachusetts College of Art and just blocks from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
