Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Isabella Stewart Gardner first welcomed visitors to her museum in 1903. Guests gazed in wonder at the courtyard full of flowers, and viewed one of the nation’s finest collections of art. The Gardner Museum has remained essentially unchanged since its founder’s death in 1924. Three floors of galleries surround a garden courtyard blooming with life in all seasons.
