The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum's Education Department develops programs and resources that promote in-depth experiences with works of art. Ongoing partnerships with neighborhood schools and community organizations are central to our mission, and help inform the creation of interactive experiences for the general museum visitor. Between 1996 and 2000, a major grant from the Pew Charitable Trusts for the Eye of the Beholder project allowed the Education Department to deepen and expand partnership activities and to develop new programs for the general visitor. Current programs and activities are briefly listed below. Go to the Eye of the Beholder project to learn more about the Education Department's successes and challenges over the last four years.
