TWO FINE LADIES: 
Museum of Fine Arts and Isabella Steward Gardner Museum

You will be escorted with two separate groups of seven via ‘Antique Limousine’ and your guide Mark Solomini.  He drives a 1939 Cadillac seven passenger Imperial and speaks the part of a true 1930’s Bostonian.  He will enchant you with stories as only a true Bostonian can, but watch out, if you give him any trouble, you may end up in the trunk! (Not really).

You will depart for the grand Museum of fine arts, where you will view incredible collections of sculpture, decorative arts, paintings, drawings and photographs.  The Museum of Fine Arts most prized possessions are world renowned masterpieces such as Gauguin’s ‘Where do we come from?’  Enjoy Millets, ‘The Sower’, along with works by Rembrandt, Degas, Sargent and Van Gogh.

It is recommended that as you enter the museum you purchase the audio guide for $6.

 

The Isabella Stuart Gardner Museum is housed in a five-story Italian Renaissance structure that surrounds an open courtyard filled with plants and flowers.  Mrs. Gardner’s home contains masterpieces of Bottecelli, Reubens, Raphael and Rembrandt, as well as other art and artifacts that she collected during her travels.  Isabella Stewart Gardner first welcomed visitors to her museum on New Year’s Day 1903.  On that evening guests listened to the music of Bach, Mozart, and Schumann, gazed in wonder at the courtyard full of flowers, and viewed one of the nation’s finest collections of art.

Today, visitors experience much the same thing.  The Gardner Museum has remained essentially unchanged since its founder’s death in 1924.  Unchanged, but certainly not stagnant.  Three floors of galleries surround a garden courtyard blooming with life in all seasons.

It is recommended that as you enter the museum you purchase the audio guide for $4.
