The Highland Street Foundation has been celebrating Free Fun Fridays all summer long. On
Friday, August 23rd, guests can receive free access to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.
The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, located in the Fenway/Kenmore area, is known for its beautiful garden courtyard, numerous art pieces, extravagant furniture and, of course, the largest private property theft of all time.
"Isabella Stewart Gardner collected and carefully displayed a collection of more than 2,500 objects—paintings, sculpture, furniture, textiles, architectural elements, drawings, silver, ceramics, illuminated manuscripts, rare books, photographs and letters—from ancient Rome, Medieval Europe, Renaissance Italy, Asia, the Islamic world, and 19th-century France and America. Among the artists represented in the galleries are Titian, Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Raphael, Botticelli, Manet, Degas, Whistler and Sargent. The first Matisse to enter an American collection is housed in the Yellow Room."
The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum will be open from 11am-5pm on Friday.
