Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum will develop a series of twelve two- to three-minute films designed to make the work of the museum more accessible to visitors. Over two years, museum educators will collaborate with curators, artists-in-residence, conservators, gardeners, and community members to develop collection-centered films exploring the process of creating and responding to art. Films will be available for viewing on the museum’s website and on kiosks in the Gardner’s new visitor orientation space. Project goals are to increase access to the museum’s collection, which is limited due to gallery size, and encourage deeper engagement by local audiences by showing them multiple approaches to the permanent collection.
