Eye of the Beholder is a celebration of this Boston museum and all the delightful treasures found within. It contains color photographs of the museum and the works that reside there (or previously resided there before a notorious art heist) as well as written reflections about the museum and its works by many important people of Mrs Gardner's time - such as Henry James, Edith Wharton, Henry Adams, John Singer Sargent, James Whistler, Bernard Berenson etc.

It has given me a little insight into the spirit of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum as well as the woman who collected and displayed these amazing pieces of art. I would recommend it to anyone, not just professionals or art students because it is quite a personal rather than technical art book. It serves as an introduction to a unique museum and also as a basic guide to the main works to be found there.
