Isabella Stewart Gardner ließ Fenway Court zwischen 1896 und 1903 errichten: ein venezianischer Palast des 15. Jahrhunderts, dessen Konzeption nach innen gewendet ist. Die Galerien gruppieren sich um einen glasüberdachten Innenhof, der selbst im Bostoner Winter üppig blüht. Ihr Testament fror die Hängung von mehr als 7.500 Objekten exakt in dem Zustand ein, in dem sie ihn hinterließ; Tizian, Rembrandt, Botticelli und Vermeer hängen noch heute in den dichten, persönlichen Arrangements ihrer Wahl. Am 18. März 1990 entwendeten Diebe, als Polizisten verkleidet, dreizehn Werke im geschätzten Wert von 500 Millionen Dollar. Die leeren Rahmen hängen bis heute im Dutch Room und harren ihrer Rückkehr. Ein rund 6.500 Quadratmeter großer Anbau aus Glas und Kupfer von Renzo Piano ergänzt den Palast seit 2012 für Sonderausstellungen, Konzerte und das Artist-in-Residence-Programm.
