The Credit Suisse Exhibition: Monet & Architecture
9 April - 29 July 2018
Sainsbury Wing

There's never been a single exhibition looking at Monet's career through the buildings he painted: in Normandy, in Rouen, in Paris, London, and Venice. From buildings in villages and by the coast, to some of Europe's most famous monuments, Monet painted the architecture of his time – modern, historic, simple and grand. This is a new way of looking at Monet's work. It shows how he used architecture to create his compositions, both in his most famous paintings and lesser-known works.
