Step Into Another Time by Julia Duato

new entrance at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum

        Walking through the glass corridor the sense of the XXI century invades you. As you walk and the glass corridor turns into brick corridor the XXI century goes away and the sense of time disappears. 

        The first thing that stands out as soon as you go inside the museum is the architecture of the building itself. The three floor building with the inside garden it is just as astonishing as all the art pieces that the museum contains. The colors of the walls and the refreshing air that the flowers and trees give the museum leaves you with a relaxed mood just as if you were just finishing a long race and you were drinking a cold beverage. The only difference is that leaving the museum leaves you with the feeling that you have been instructed with a large amount of new knowledge from all around the world, and from a large amount of different eras, leaving you with a sense of nonexistence present but infinite past that creates, to every single person, our own present. Connecting us to the human nature and all the leaving persons that one day had experimented emotions by looking at a piece of art that is in the Gardner. 

           The Gardner gives the opportunity to connect with different cultures and places around the world in a three floor building of more than a hundred years old. And like at the end of a race, the museum leaves you mentally tired, but with a good feeling on your body, just like if your brain had created endorphins from looking to the art in the museum.
