🧠 Lecture: "Art, Scandal, and Boston's Most Rebellious Heiress"

🎙️ Speaker: Christine Morgan

Join us for a captivating evening as Christine Morgan brings to life the story of Isabella Stewart Gardner, the woman who shocked and dazzled Boston’s elite at the height of the Gilded Age. Daring, unconventional, and utterly unforgettable, Isabella upended the strict codes of Boston Brahmin society—whether they feared her or fought for a place on her guest list.

After devastating personal tragedy, Isabella turned to an unexpected passion: art collecting. In an era when few Americans were building world-class collections, she traveled the globe to acquire extraordinary works of art and envisioned a Venetian-style palace in Boston that would be both museum and masterpiece.

Discover how Isabella transformed heartbreak into beauty, assembled one of America’s greatest art collections, and permanently reshaped Boston’s cultural landscape. Through spectacular art, dazzling fashion, and unforgettable stories, you’ll meet the city’s most rebellious heiress in an entirely new light.
