This blockbuster is completely rammed during the day but a much more pleasant experience on a Friday evening. It is a huge exhibition, centred upon the impressionists but also continuing forwards to fauvists Nabis as well as a few artists working between the wars.
There are lovely paintings in the exhibition, some by artists I did not really know. The included Santiago Rusinol and Henri Le Sidaner. However, I think it is fair to say the exhibition is dominated by Monet to whom the final two rooms as well as an earlier room are devoted. Not that this is other than a thoroughly worthwhile investment The huge water lilies of the final room are spectacular - particularly the triptych comprised of works belonging to three separate US museums and re-united for the first time on European soil.
