Just when you think you’ve seen it all, it’s time for a Big Splash as your ConDUCKtor drives the DUCK right into the Charles River for a breathtaking view of the Boston and Cambridge skylines.

“Mrs. Jack Gardner is one of the seven wonders of Boston. There is nobody like her in any city in this country. She is a millionaire Bohemienne. She is the leader of the smart set, but she often leads where none dare follow… She imitates nobody; everything she does is novel and original.” – a Boston reporter.  The museum holds her extensive collection of European, Asian, and American art. Its collection includes paintings, sculpture, tapestries, and decorative arts, all housed in Ms. Gardner’s mansion.  The museum is also the subject of the greatest art heist in history.

Guided group tours of up to 45 people will be held at 2:15pm. There is a cafeteria on site for lunch prior to the tour if desired. Entrance fee $25 per adult (plus eventbrite fees).
