Yellow Room, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston (photo)

Originally located near the public entrance and the Museum’s former concert hall, the Yellow Room showcases two of Isabella Stewart Gardner’s lifelong passions: music and contemporary art. Paintings, drawings, and objects in the display cases attest to the wide range of her interests in musical traditions and genres, and also the depth of her relationships with composers and performers. This gallery also houses some of the Museum’s most significant modern paintings, many of which were acquired through Isabella’s relationships with the artists who helped her to build her collection
