Monet in Normandy

North Carolina Museum of Art
October 15, 2006 – January 14, 2007

Raleigh like you’ve never seen it before.
Monets you’ll never see again.

This fall, Raleigh will be one of only three U.S. cities
to host Monet in Normandy. Featuring 50 paintings from
around the world, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime exhibition.
And we’re celebrating with a French getaway
experience to match.

Raleigh is the only East Coast venue for this blockbuster
show dedicated to Normandy, the French province that
inspired many of Monet’s best-known masterpieces.

The exhibition spans Monet’s career, beginning with
his paintings of the Normandy coast and progressing
to his famed water lilies, a project that consumed the
artist for the last 30 years of his life. Monet’s iconic
“impressions” of Normandy -- the haystacks, countryside,
coastline and gardens -- take center stage for the first
time in this exhibition.
