The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, also known as Fenway Court, is a calling card of sorts. It reminds residents and guests from around the world of its former owner's vivacious presence in more courteous times.
The exuberant Isabella began collecting the works now housed in the museum on her travels throughout Europe and the Far East with her husband Jack. According to Donna Wayne, one of the docents who delivers inspiring gallery tours of the palatial Venetian styled museum, the permanent collection includes more than 2,500 priceless object d'art. Rare textiles, manuscripts, letters, sculptures, etchings, furniture, and paintings are housed within Fenway Court's sun splashed, flower filled atrium and galleries.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Movie theater chain Regal Entertainment Group has begun to check bags in response to shootings at theaters around the country, a procedure it acknowledged on its website was "not without flaws" and would inconvenience guests but provide better security.
It's unclear when the policy began, but several local TV stations reported online that customers noticed the change in Texas, Virginia, Florida and Ohio beginning earlier this month.
