@mattdm I think this 'why skip the izzy' question is perhaps directed at me, and my awesome-boston site?
I've written about this elseweb, but: My highly personal hot take is that the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is over-rated. While some people *love* it, I find the collection and the space to be dull and be stuck, when I need my art intake to inspire.
What works for you in that space? I'm open to having my mind changed, if there's a piece that captivates you or something, I'll give it a shot next time I have to visit.

@knizer For me: I genuinely like a lot of the art. It's an interesting, personal collection, and a sort of time capsule as well. The courtyard is a nice oasis in winter. Also, for out-of-town folks who haven't heard it a million times and are all jaded, the heist story / mystery is fun.
