A rich exhibit retracing the artistic path of one of the most illustrious forefathers of impressionism: Claude Monet.

Claude Monet (Nov. 14, 1840 - Dec. 5, 1926)

As the Impressionist Period’s most famous painter, Monet painted for more than sixty years. His masterpieces, rarely loaned out by the Orsay museum, form a unique ensemble in this exposition hanging next to other prestigious works from private collections from all over the world.

It offers a rare look at Monet's artistic career with over 200 paintings, bringing together his most exceptional works from France, Australia, Brazil, Holland, Russia and the United States.
