Desccollection and conservation - Distinguished among other great museums for its installation, the Gardner Museum can be regarded as a work of art in totality, as well as a collection of more than 10,000 objects spanning 30 centuries. Isabella Stewart Gardner bequeathed this remarkable collection and historic building as a resource "for the education and enjoyment of the public forever." On continual display, the ongoing conservation of the collection employs cutting edge scientific methods and new practices to preserve, protect, and safeguard these works for posterity. Special exhibitions, publications, and presentations examine the Museum's permanent collection and its context in Gardner's time in order to encourage new ways of thinking about art and culture.Desc

Desceducation and public programs - The Gardner's education department is known for a commitment to excellence in teaching at all levels, from children to adults. In addition to high quality professional development for teachers and docents, the Museum conducts thoughtful research that brings new knowledge to the museum education field and offers one of the few residency programs in the U.S. for museum educators. The Museum's education initiatives have regularly attracted national attention. A successful evening program for young adults has become a model for museums around the country in engaging young audiences. The School Partnership Program, known for its exemplary multiple visit approach, has produced research on how students learn through in-depth experiences with art. A three-year research project, conducted by Education staff, and funded by the U.S. Department of Education, further demonstrated how art discussion helped Boston students develop significantly more critical thinking skills than students in control schools without the program.Desc

Descmusic - Music has played an integral part in the Gardner experience ever since the Museum opened in 1903. Isabella Stewart Gardner's musical legacy continues with a music program that features world-renowned musicians and outstanding, emerging artists. The Museum's Sunday Concert Series presents approximately 35 concerts annually by renowned chamber music ensembles and instrumental and vocal soloists from Boston and around the globe. Other series feature exciting mixes of contemporary music, hip hop and performance art. The Gardner further connects to local and world-wide audiences through The Concert, a free podcast of live recordings of classical music concerts and monthly contemporary videos from live performances.Desc

$1,000,871$158,479contemporary art - Contemporary programs at the Gardner Museum create a dynamic connection between living artists, the collection, and visitors. The Museum provides a gathering place for the public to connect with the intellectual, artistic, and social lives of some of today's innovative and creative minds. Contemporary exhibitions are presented by artists who have participated in the Gardner's unique Artist-in-Residence (AiR) Program, who provide a new perspective on the historic collection. Just as in Isabella Gardner's day, working artists in residence at the Museum continue to find inspiration in the collection and enjoy the gift of time and space to work.
$870,716$140,464landscape - By situating the Museum on the Back Bay Fens, Mrs. Gardner contributed to a conception of the city as enabled, informed, and enhanced by landscape. To this day, the Museum aspires to be a preeminent cultural venue for landscape and its role in contemporary urbanism. Engaging new audiences from design cultures, arts, and the environment, the landscape program offers an annual lecture series, landscape exhibitions, onsite installations, and an annual fellowship for emerging practitioners. The Museum also supports extensive Horticulture programs, with eight seasonal plant installations in its iconic Courtyard. The new Monks Garden and horticulture workshops and other programming further bring the art of horticulture to life as part of the museum experience.

Part III, Line 4:The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum displays an art collection of world importance, including works that rank among the most significant of their type. Isabella Gardner collected and carefully displayed a collection comprised of some 5,000 objects -- paintings, sculpture, furniture, textiles, drawings, silver, ceramics, illuminated manuscripts, rare books, photographs and letters -- from ancient Rome, Medieval Europe, Renaissance Italy, Asia, the Islamic world and 19th-century France and America. Built to evoke a 15th-century Venetian palace, the Museum building itself provides an atmospheric setting for Isabella Stewart Gardner's inventive creation. Historical and scholarly endeavors at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum explore the Museum's permanent collection and the context of Isabella Gardner's time in order to encourage new ways of thinking about art and culture. Exhibitions examine historical and social perspectives of works of art, resulting in an enriching experience for visitors to the Museum. The collection is also a source of inspiration for educators, thinkers, and contemporary artists, and serves as the focus to programs as well as educational and community initiatives.
Part V, Line 4:The endowments were funded by donors and by the museum's board to provide financial support for specific programs and to ensure the long-term viability of the museum and its mission.
Part X, Line 2:The Museum is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as an organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is generally exempt from federal and state income taxes on related income. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is made in the financial statements. The Museum has determined that its status as a tax exempt entity and its determinations as to its income being related and unrelated are not uncertain tax positions within the meaning of generally accepted accounting principles for its open tax years. The Museum's federal and state income tax returns are generally open for examination for three years following the date filed.
