Not on viewWeb CommentaryIsabella worked with the Boston photographic firm Thomas E. Marr & Son, comprised of Thomas and his son Arthur, to document the museum's interiors. You can often see in these photographs Isabella's different iterations of the galleries from the museum's opening in 1903 to her death in 1924. In this view, a mirror at the end of the North Cloister conceals the Music Room where Isabella regularly hosted concerts. She reconfigured the Music Room in 1915 to create the Chinese Loggia, Spanish Cloister, Spanish Chapel, and Tapestry Room.
