Selected from our Neighborhood Salon Luminary program, we invite the best of Boston's artists and culture-makers to take over the Museum. Featuring writers, producers, photographers, multi-media artists, and community organizers, this creative social circle captures the spirit of Isabella's "salons" to give you a fresh look at the historic collection.
