Mount Auburn Cemetery is the final resting place of Isabella Stewart Gardner, Anne Whitney, Charles Dana Gibson, Winslow Homer, and Robert Ormerod Preusser, among others. This eclectic combination of artists and their benefactors represents the lifelong aesthetic love affair between the two groups during a period when the cultivation of culture through the arts was seen as a necessity. The collaboration between the patrons and artists is key to the history of Boston and the United States; but it is specifically linked to the planning and enhancement of Mount Auburn Cemetery.
Mount Auburn Cemetery is celebrating its 175th Anniversary with a year of lectures, musical performances, and other events at the Cemetery. This lecture is part Mount Auburn Cemetery’s seven part lecture series “Facets of Mount Auburn: Celebrating 175 Years of a Boston Jewel”, is a fitting event for Mount Auburn Cemetery, which is home to one of the few surviving sculptures by famed sculptor Edmonia Lewis, the first internationally recognized African American sculptor. Her sculpture Hygeia prominently marks the grave of Dr. Harriot Kezia Hunt, the first woman to apply to medical school.
This event is co-sponsored by the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.
