Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
Overview
A Venetian palace built around a glassed courtyard garden, arranged forever by its founder's will. Titian's Europa, Rembrandt's self portraits, and Vermeer's Concert, stolen in the 1990 heist of 13 works still unrecovered, the largest art theft in history. Empty frames hang awaiting return.
