Lee Mingwei: Living Room

Exhibition at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.

“The Living Room Project is a work by Artist-in-Residence Lee Mingwei that debuted at the Museum in 2000. It was inspired by Isabella Stewart Gardner's collection and hospitality. In creating this project—in which participants are invited to bring a collection of theirs to share at the Museum—Lee wanted to explore why Isabella was compelled to amass her collection, and wanted to encourage others to talk about their own collections.”
