For our art lovers, the story of Isabella Stewart Gardner will awe and inspire you. A true patron of the arts, Isabella personally arranged all of the works and upon her death stipulated that the museum be open "for the education and enjoyment of the public forever." For any crime enthusiasts, the ISGM was the site of the single largest property theft in the world where 13 works were stolen in 81 minutes. The case is still unsolved.
For our science fans and curious minds, the Museum of Science is a must see. You can explore the Hall of Human Life, the Theater of Electricity, interactive Science in the Park, and see the T. Rex. Catch a show at the five-story domed screen in the Mugar Omni Theater, check out the Charles Hayden Planetarium, or enjoy an immersive 4-D experience.
