This unique museum is dedicated to Isabella Stewart Gardner, an important collector of Asian, European, and American art. You will learn about the fascinating unsolved mystery surrounding the disappearance of 13 artworks from the collection in 1990.
As though Boston were lacking in culture, your accommodation in the city situates you within walking distance of some 450,000 artworks, which are housed at the prestigious museum. The scale of the permanent collection makes the gallery one of the most comprehensive on the continent, and indeed worldwide. Founded in 1870, the museum presents Egyptian artifacts and Chinese calligraphy, Dutch masters, and French impressionists.
Linking with Boston's Emerald Necklace of parks and wetlands, this stunning green space (like the five others) is the work of architect Frederick Law Olmsted who also designed New Yourk's Central Park. Join the enthusiastic joggers on the trails, or catch a glimpse of wildlife darting between the reeds of the park's artificial lakes.
This world-famous ballpark is also minutes from your vacation accommodation. The home turf of the mighty Red Sox, Fenway Park is the oldest ballpark in America. Why not take the tour to see its famous features, like the Green Monster wall and the Pesky Pole?
