The palazzo-styled Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is often called Bostonians' favorite museum, and it's easy to see why after a visit. The three floors house one of the nation's finest collections of art that spans 30 centuries, and the courtyard in the center of the museum is beautifully sculptured and full of flowers, creating a perfect space to wander and reflect on the museum's unique offerings.
