Isabella Stewart Gardner construiu Fenway Court entre 1896 e 1903 inspirando-se num palácio veneziano do século XV voltado para o interior, com galerias dispostas ao redor de um pátio de teto de vidro que floresce mesmo durante o rigoroso inverno de Boston. O seu testamento determinou que a disposição de mais de 7.500 peças permanecesse exatamente como ela a deixou; por isso, obras de Titian, Rembrandt, Botticelli e Vermeer continuam expostas nas composições densas e profundamente pessoais que ela concebeu. A 18 de março de 1990, ladrões disfarçados de polícias levaram treze obras avaliadas em cerca de 500 milhões de dólares — as molduras vazias continuam penduradas na Dutch Room, à espera. Em 2012, uma nova ala de 6.500 metros quadrados em vidro e cobre, projetada por Renzo Piano, foi inaugurada junto ao palácio para acolher exposições temporárias, concertos e o programa de artistas residentes.
