A Preview of "Monet in Normandy" at the Cleveland Museum of Art

Showing February 18 to May 20, 2007

By , About.com Guide

Though born in Paris, Impressionist painter Claude Monet grew up in the French port of Le Havre, along the Norman coast. The drama of the northern French coastline and the Norman countryside are a recurring theme in Monet's work. He so loved the region that he spent the last 30 years of his life in Giverny, a picturesque village on the northeastern border of Normandy. It was at Giverny that Monet painted his famous waterlily series.

The Cleveland Museum of Art exhibit features 50 paintings, including CMA's Water Lilies (1920-26), a work that is too fragile to travel and is unique to the Cleveland showing.

Admission to the exhibit is $12 for adults during the week and $15 on Saturdays and Sundays. Senior admission is $10 on weekdays and $13 on Saturdays and Sundays. Children 6-18 pay $7 during the week and $10 on Saturdays and Sundays. Museum members and children under 5 enter free.
