Last chance for your Venetian love story!
Last chance to visit Venice in Brooklyn!
Monet and Venice is the first exhibition to focus on Claude Monet’s luminous Venetian paintings since their debut in 1912. The artist’s singular vision of Venice is also set in dialogue with portrayals of the city by renowned artists such as Canaletto, Paul Signac, John Singer Sargent, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
Whether you’re seeing these paintings for the first time or returning for a final look, stop by to say arrivederci.
Hot tip: Weekends are selling out fast, so come on a weekday if you can!
Date night idea
Monet might never have visited Venice if it weren’t for his loving wife, Alice. She insisted they go, hoping the trip would inspire him.
Of course, he fell in love with Venice. The couple stayed for two months, and Monet ultimately produced 37 paintings depicting the city—many of which you can see in Monet and Venice.
You don’t have to be Claude and Alice (or Emily and Marcello if you’re watching a certain rom-com series) to experience a romantic night in Italy!
Join us for extended hours during the final weekend of Monet and Venice. On Saturday–Sunday, January 31–February 1, the exhibition stays open until 8 pm so you can linger with a loved one—who just might be yourself.
