Web CommentaryWith the exception of the Little Salon, Isabella Gardner did not purchase complete rooms or attempt to assemble period rooms. In 1897, she acquired interior paneling from the Palazzo Morosini in Venice, but her installation in the museum does not attempt to re-create a Venetian interior. Rather, the panels are often mounted in unorthodox ways, even placed upside down, or cut to form new pieces of furniture.
