New European Galleries

Ongoing

Experience our astonishing collection of Impressionist art like never before in our newly refreshed and reinstalled nineteenth-century European galleries. The thoughtful new arrangement features inspired groupings—luminous landscapes, unconventional nudes—and places paintings side by side with sculpture, furniture, prints, and even wallpaper to reveal shared sources of inspiration among the era’s greatest artists. The galleries culminate in the beautiful Rotunda, which now houses some of our best-loved works by Claude Monet, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Berthe Morisot, Vincent van Gogh, and others.
