English: The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is a museum in the Fenway–Kenmore neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts near the Back Bay Fens. It consists of two buildings. The original building, – called Fenway Court during Isabella Stewart Gardner's lifetime – is a Venetian-style pallazzo on Fenway built in 1902 and designed by Willard T. Sears. The New Wing building, which sits next to the original building on Evans Way, was completed in 2012 after 2 1/2 years of construction. It was designed by Renzo Piano.
The museum houses an art collection of world importance, including significant examples of European, Asian, and American art, from paintings and sculpture to tapestries and decorative arts.
In 1990, thirteen of the museum's works were stolen; the high-profile crime remains unsolved and the works have not been recovered.Subcategories
