Join art historian Martin Brown for a tour of Monet's Impressionist paintings.
Explore our extraordinary collection by the master of light and atmosphere, and find out how Monet’s revolutionary brushwork and keen eye for colour transformed everyday scenes into moments of timeless beauty.
As a celebration of his birth 185 years ago, this talk and tour of Monet’s work will focus on his innovative spirit. It will also explore how he inspired not only his contemporaries, but also the next generation of modern artists.
After the tour, we welcome you to Supporters’ House where you can reflect and discuss with others.
