User Reviews for Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum has always been a favorite of mine since I first discovered it in the eighties. The building's architecture is just as impressive s the artwork itself. I love the multi levels and the views of the landscaped courtyard. This is a great place to spend a rainy day.

One of the coolest museums I have been too. It is a giant multi story house full of old paintings and furniture. Very interesting and impressive to see and also one of the better museums for tourists looking for an "Only in Boston" experience

This isn't a place to roam halls and marvel at the exhibitions. It is a place to go and absorb the ambiance and the feeling that you are visiting a slice of heaven. There's something very peaceful and unique about this museum and it's on my list of must-see again if I ever return to Boston.

Pros: Overall atmosphere, Serene + stimulating, Breathtaking courtyar

Cons: Little pricy
