It's always springtime at the courtyard of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. In addition to being one of the finest interior spaces in Boston there's also some nifty artwork here. She did a nice job of looting Europe to build and furnish her house.
The exterior architecture of the original house/museum is deliberately unobtrusive and boring. Renzo Piano's new addition, which relocates the entrance and provides space for critical services, is more impressive from the outside. I actually don't think it connects with the original building aggressively enough.
