Art and Culture in Boston
"This museum made headlines on March 18, 1990, when two thieves wearing police uniforms were let into the museum and stole 13 works of art in fewer than two hours. The heist still remains unsolved with the empty frames serving as a grim reminder of the theft. Nevertheless, the museum is a Boston must-see if even just for its amazing architecture. Set in Gardner’s Venetian palazzo with a lush, flower-filled interior courtyard and gardens surrounding it, the museum displays Gardner’s 15,000-plus paintings, sculptures, silver, textiles, rare books, furniture, and other objects. The striking glass-enclosed Café G, designed by Renzo Piano, serves lunch and light bites Wednesday-Monday." - MATADOR_NETWORK
