Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum tour details
Friday July 12th @ 3:30pm
Kicking Things Off
We will check in at the museum and safely stow things (the storage spaces can accommodate bags over 12” x 12” x 3” - including purses). Museum staff will provide a brief orientation. We will stay together as a group throughout the galleries.
What to expect
We will discuss 3-4 works of art, starting with an introduction to the Museum and Isabella Stewart Gardner. The museum will use interactive inquiry-based discussions and encourage comments and questions from everyone in the group.
Beyond the Collection
We will also spend time in the special exhibition, Portraits From Boston, With Love. This exhibition explores how portrait photographs are a tool for self-discovery, community-making, and affirmation of found family. We will also make some stops in Isabella Stewart Gardner’s historic collection.
