Claude Monet. Works from the Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris is undoubtedly one of the autumn’s most anticipated exhibitions.
The exhibition’s chronological order takes the visitor through Monet’s entire artistic allegory, summing up the works that the French artist himself considered fundamental, intimate, private, so much so that he jealously safeguarded them in his home in Giverny. Works that he himself never wanted to sell, works that convey the profound emotions of his artistic genius.

Don’t miss his Water Lilies (1916-1919), Parliament, Reflections on the Thames (1905) and Roses (1925-1926), his last, and entirely magical, work. 53 masterpieces that will astound you.
