This summer, escape the heat with an unforgettable night at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum on July 21. The “Abroad” themed-evening will open your eyes to a new part of the world.  Within the Museum’s famed Venetian palace, visitors can tour Europe, Asia, the Middle East and more, and enjoy a variety of activities throughout the gallery.

 The monthly Third Thursday events at the Museum - named The Boston Calendar’s “Best Museum/Gallery Event” - are a relaxing mix of artful activities, drinks, and music with a different theme each month, featuring jazz, world, and roots, performed by local musicians. Café G will be open for snacks, dinner and drinks.  There will also be a cash bar in the Courtyard.

The event runs from 5:30 PM to 9 PM. Tickets are required to attend this often sell-out event, and it is suggested to purchase in advance.  Tickets may be purchased online at gardnermuseum.org, by calling the box office at (617) 2878-5156 or at the door.  Tickets include Museum admission.

 Ticket prices are as follows:  $15.00 for adults, $12.00 for seniors age 65 and up, $5 for students with a valid college ID, and free for children under age 18.

 Students at select universities may receive free admission.  See if your school is on the list of participants by visiting gardnermuseum.org. Student ID must be presented in person.
