Thanks to a suggestion by Heather Zengilowski on the discussion page, get yourself over to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum!
If you haven't been to the Museum, you really need to indulge yourself and visit.
History. Music. Amazing works of art, not to mention the building itself! This isn't your ordinary art museum, folks.
There's even a mystery involved! Known as one of the largest art thefts in history, in 1990, two people dressed as guards, broke into the museum, and stole a total of 13 paintings, and to this day...wait for it....the paintings have never been found. For the past 20 years their frames have remained empty as placeholders awaiting the artwork's return.
ISGM also hosts "After Hours" night every third Thursday from 5:30pm to 9:30pm. Next one is tomorrow night. Enjoy drinks while you sit in the courtyard garden and peruse the museum afterward. Jazz on the second floor. It's a great night and a great time.
Admission is $12 to the general public/ $10 for Seniors and $5 for students. Located at 280 The Fenway.
