Summer 2023 Roadtrip

Day 8 in Boston area started at the Isabella Gardener museum. An absolute must if you’re in the area, it is an art museum which houses significant examples of European, Asian, and American art. Its collection includes paintings, sculpture, tapestries, and decorative arts. It was founded by Isabella Stewart Gardner, whose will called for her art collection to be permanently exhibited "for the education and enjoyment of the public forever."

In 1990, thirteen of the museum's works were stolen. The crime remains unsolved, and the works, valued at an estimated $500 million, have not been recovered. A $10 million reward for information leading to the art's recovery remains in place.Okumaya devam et
