Crowded mid-size museum with excellent café
The Isabella Stewart Gardner museum gives you a window into one female collector's eclectic taste, presented in a building she constructed to display the collection. Bring your phone, as you will need it to get titles and backgrounds on the paintings. The Gardner doesn't do plaques. On the day we visited - a weekday in summer - the museum was crowded from its opening minutes. Booking tickets online in advance is a must. We would have enjoyed the museum more with half the number of patrons. Café G on the premises had very good lunch for a reasonable price with experienced, professional servers. There is a very good museum gift shop as well.

nice experience
We enjoyed this museum, showcasing the art work collected by Isabella Stewart Gardner and her husband. It was honestly a nice surprise. And it was also interesting to watch the movie which introduced the museum and the life of Isabella Stewart. The cost to enter was $20/person, and we spent about an hour exploring.
