Museum Made

“Shan’t you and I have fun with my museum?"
-Isabella Stewart Gardner in a letter to Bernard Berenson, July 19, 1896

Isabella imbued Fenway Court with her spirit and shared the delights of her Palace with exhilaration. Mrs. Gardner and her Museum directly inspire this collection of gifts–hence, "Museum Made." 

Our Museum Made collection draws upon the excitement of experiencing Isabella’s Fenway Palazzo. We hope these gifts become touchstones and pleasant reminders of the Museum built "for the education and enjoyment of the public, forever."
