Boston has a museum that has admission free forever if your name is Isabella.

However for the rest of us, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum will be free on the 1st day of the year.

So why not start off the new year by taking in the beauty of the Renaissance, of Medieval Europe, of Asia and the Islamic world.

We'll tour the museum, and stop at the The Gardner Café. Over a coffee, a cup of tea, or even a desert, we'll discuss our impressions, and what we enjoyed the most.

"The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum displays an art collection of world importance, including works that rank among the most significant of their type. Isabella Stewart Gardner collected and carefully displayed a collection comprised of more than 2,500 objects - paintings, sculpture, furniture, textiles, drawings, silver, ceramics, illuminated manuscripts, rare books, photographs and letters - from ancient Rome, Medieval Europe, Renaissance Italy, Asia, the Islamic world and 19th-century France and America. Built to evoke a 15th-century Venetian palace, the Museum itself provides an atmospheric setting for Isabella Stewart Gardner's inventive creation."
