Wander the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum

“As a Boston interior designer and local native, I think the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is a great spot for students to visit,” says Joshua Alan Carpluk of Joshua Alan Interiors. “It’s one of those rare places that instantly transports you: a Venetian-style palace with a sunlit courtyard that feels straight out of Europe, right in the middle of the city. It’s the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of campus life and a beautiful reminder of Boston’s balance between historic charm and modern energy.”

“Every room tells a story,” he says, “carefully curated by Isabella herself with an incredible eye for design, texture, and emotion. You’ll find global art, layered details, and even a touch of mystery; the infamous 1990 art heist remains unsolved, with the empty frames still hanging on the walls. For students, it’s a chance to slow down, recharge, and get inspired.

Good to know: “Especially beneficial for students, admission is free the first Thursday of every month from 3-9 pm,” says Carpluk. “It’s an experience that connects culture, creativity, and calm,  all right in your own backyard!”
