On August 12 at 3:30 p.m., join the conversation with the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum’s Landscape Research staff member JoAnn Robinson about Fenway Deity, a large Pop Art-style inflatable medallion with a psychedelic spiral pattern and gold chain hanging on the Museum’s historic facade. Designed by Ken Smith, the public art installation is part of the Museum’s landscape programming that seeks out underutilized and overlooked venues on the campus and infuses them with garden-inspired public art. Advance registration is required.

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum—a work of art in totality—is at once an intimate collection of fine and decorative art and a vibrant, innovative venue for contemporary artists, musicians and scholars. Housed in a 1902 building, modeled after a 15th century Venetian palazzo, and a 2012 wing, designed by Renzo Piano, the Museum provides an unusual backdrop for the viewing of art. The Collection galleries installed in rooms surrounding the verdant Courtyard contain more than 2,500 paintings, sculptures, tapestries, furniture, manuscripts, rare books and decorative arts featuring works by Titian, Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Raphael, Botticelli, Manet, Degas, Whistler and Sargent. Visit the Gardner Museum online at www.gardnermuseum.org for more about special exhibitions, concerts, innovative arts education programs, and evening events.
