Museum Trip

Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
Boston, MA
Wednesday, March 7th


 


You are invited to join the Friends of the Amherst Library as we visit the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum with its new glass wing addition. The ISG is built to evoke a 15th century Venetian palace with a flower filled atrium. It houses over 2,500 objects - paintings, sculpture, furniture, textiles, drawings, silver, illuminated manuscripts, rare books and photographs from Ancient Rome, Medieval Europe, Renaissance Italy, Asia, the Islamic world and 19th century France and America. Among the highlights are works by Botticelli, Titian, Vermeer, Sargent and Whistler.

Price: $40 (includes coach, ISG admission, and driver’s gratuity). Among the free public tours are an Introductory talk, an Architecture tour, and a Collection Highlights tour. Departs at 9:15 from the Meeting Place (Rte. 101, Amherst) and returns at 5:00.

Please make your check out to Friends of the Library and mail to: Jane Cosmo,
