Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Summary and Response
Please share your thoughts about the followin" rel="nofollow">ing two topics:
1) The New Gardner Buildin" rel="nofollow">ing:
Did the tearin" rel="nofollow">ing down of the Carriage House break the will? Was it worth gettin" rel="nofollow">ing rid of to provide the visitor services now available? What about movin" rel="nofollow">ing a few pieces of sculpture to open up an entrance to the Palace via the "Lin" rel="nofollow">ink"? The modern architecture of the new buildin" rel="nofollow">ing vs. the antiquity of the Palace?
2) Viewin" rel="nofollow">ing Works of Art at the Gardner:
Do do experience works of art differently at the Gardner than at conventional museums like the Museum of Fin" rel="nofollow">ine Arts? Do you prefer one presentation to the other? If so....why?
