New State House

The dome here is pretty impressive, covered in real gold it shines a LOT when the sun hits it! Really interesting place, and you can really feel the weight of history here.

Gibson House Museum

An assault on the eyes with its proliferation of ornate details and chintzy accessories, but an amazing place to nose around for the afternoon! There are so many great objects, and some really weird ones too. Fun and interesting.

Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum

Since my name is Isabella I got in free, what's not to like about such a quirky museum?? It's totally stunning too, an amazing place where you can see the care that has gone into every aspect of the design from the ground up. I really must start rearranging my house now!

State House

If this one looks familiar to Londoners then you're right, as it was based on Somerset House! The building looks impressive from the outside as well as the inside, which we saw on our guided tour which was informative and interesting. The best bit I learned was that the gold dome wsa painted black during WWII to protect it.

Isabelle Stewart Gardner Museum

Wow. This was a feast for the eyes. The italina-style villa is pretty impresive and then you start looking at the art. Granted it's a little haphazard with a mix of styles everywhere but that's sort of part of the charm, and for a personal collection it's amazing. Really enjoyable since you never know what you might find next!
