Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Premier Coach trip to Boston, MA Wednesday, April 4, 2012 Isabella Stewart Gardner was the visionary and creator of one of the most remarkable collections of art in the world today. Over three decades she traveled the world to amass of master and decorative arts. She carefully installed her collection in such a way as to elicit an intimate response from the viewer. Each room in the museum has a carefully selected mix of paintings, furniture, textiles, and objects from different cultures and periods among well-known European paintings and sculpture. We will enjoy the traditional “April Courtyard” garden featuring an abundance of flowering plants and a display of 15 to 20 foot-long nasturtium vines. For lunch we will dine at the Gardner Café which is now located in an expanded space within the museum’s newly constructed Renzo Piano-designed wing. Since 2002 Café G. has served an inspired seasonal menu with award winning desserts under the leadership of Chef Peter Crowley, a graduate of The Culinary Institute of America. Itinerary:
