12-Hour Member
Preview Celebration
THURS, OCT 13, 10 AM–10 PM
Celebrate Degas, Cézanne, Van Gogh, and others who challenged the authority of the Académie, toppled the hegemony of painting, and brought about a major shift in the art of nineteenth-century France! See more than 120 pastels, watercolors, and drawings by some of the greatest in the history of Western European art. And thanks to the Green Bay Packers defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers at the XLV Super Bowl, Renoir’s painting Bathers with Crab is also on view, on loan from the Carnegie Museum of Art.

Join us for this special 12-hour Member Preview as the Museum premieres the Impressionism: Masterworks on Paper exhibition, organized in collaboration with the Albertina in Vienna. Take a docent-led tour, enjoy Café Calatrava’s French-inspired menu, discover treasures in the Museum Store, hear from guest curator Christopher Lloyd in lectures* at 1:30 and 6:15 p.m., and more. Then spend the next several months getting to know the Impressionists—through all the can’t-miss, exhibition-related programs.

*Lectures are ticketed. Tickets distributed on a first-come, first-served basis at Admissions starting at 10 a.m. on event day only. See calendar listing for complete details.
