And now, in living color...



Designed by architect Willard T. Sears, Fenway Court was completed in 1901. Now known as the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum, this remarkable building is home to the only private art collection in which the building, collection and installations are the creation of one individual. The galleries of the museum surround this lovely, 15th century Venetian style courtyard and fill the first three floors. Isabella herself lived in an apartment on the fourth floor! Can you even imagine the pleasure of being surrounded by all of this art each and every day?!
