Visitors to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum are greeted by the visual 
splendor of the courtyard garden and surrounding galleries—a feast for the 
senses. The Museum was designed as a work of art in totality
True to the ambitious vision of its founder and her spirit of creative 
risk-taking, the mission of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is:
to bring to life and preserve the rich historic 
collection;
to cultivate talent in the pursuit of knowledge and acts of 
creation in the arts and humanities;
to support artists, landscape architects, musicians, 
scholars and students; and
to engage local and global audiences in a sanctuary of 
beauty and the arts where deeply personal and communal adventures unfold.
