Wednesday — Aristocratic Boston
This morning, guests will travel to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, a breathtaking palazzo created at the turn of the century by wealthy art lover Isabella Stewart Gardner. Isabella’s pioneering independence and eccentricity overcame resistance from the very conservative Boston Brahman Society in opening a female-owned gallery. Despite being the victim of the most costly art heist in the twentieth century, the museum displays over 3,000 works of art including objects by Rembrandt, Botticelli, Raphael, Titian
and Matisse. Its beautiful interior flowering courtyard and outdoor gardens are host to some of the most elaborate parties in Boston.
Guests will enjoy lunch inside the Museum of Fine Arts where they will also have the opportunity to shop. Following lunch, the group will transfer to Beacon Hill for a leisurely walking tour. From the golden dome of the State House to the stately townhouses of Louisburg Square, this Beacon Hill tour will take you back in time. Enjoy the beautiful architecture of this neighborhood's 18th and 19th century townhouses and mansions and discover its history and secrets. Walk through a delightful maze of redbrick sidewalks and cobblestone streets while experiencing the spell of enchantment the "The Hill" will cast on you.
