Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum: Inventing Isabella
Oct. 19 — Jan. 15, 2024
Plan a visit to the Hostetter Gallery this month to dive into the life of Isabella Stewart Gardner, a Bostonian who used art, fashion, and photography to share her identity. While we can always visit the museum she created, there is still much about her that we don't know — this exhibition will look at pictures she chose to preserve of herself and examples of her wardrobe to analyze how she created her public image.
