I am broadly engaged in all kinds of light-sensitive media and am a habitual link and fact-sender. This blog is an attempt to keep it all in one place."

Boston Public Library
Not strictly speaking an art museum, the old wing of the main branch at Copley Square features a beautiful statue garden as well as a number of murals. Don't miss the main staircase in the old building. There is no truth to the rumor that an old lady once got lost and died while trying to navigate the intricate hallways between the old and new buildings. On Boylston Street in the Back Bay (take the Green Line to Copley or the Orange Line to Back Bay).

Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
Gardner was a true Renaissance Woman - somewhat to the chagrin of her staid 19th-century contemporaries. Gardner used her money on an art shopping spree across Europe, snapping up Titians, Vermeers and Giottos. Her will turned her mansion into a museum - and mandated that it be left exactly as it was when she died, right down to the cut-out figures she had installed to keep residents of the mansion company. Located within easy walking distance of the MFA.
