Saint Louis Art Museum Website »
The Saint Louis Art Museum is one of the nation’s leading comprehensive art museums with collections that include works of art of exceptional quality from virtually every culture and time period. Areas of notable depth include Oceanic art, pre-Columbian art, ancient Chinese bronzes and European and American art of the late 19th and 20th centuries, with particular strength in 20th-century German art. The Museum offers a full range of exhibitions and educational programming generated independently and in collaboration with local, national and international partners.
Inspired by his gardens at Giverny, French Impressionist Claude Monet (1840–1926) painted approximately 250 oil paintings in his Water Lilies series. Monet's Water Lilies re-unites one of the most impressive large-scale triptychs within this group for the first time in more than 30 years.
Monet's Water Lilies is organized by the Saint Louis Art Museum, The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and The Cleveland Museum of Art.
Curated in Kansas City and St. Louis by Simon Kelly, curator of modern and contemporary art, the exhibition will be on view in the Main Exhibition Galleries, October 2, 2011–January 22, 2012.
Participation in Museum Day is open to any tax-exempt or governmental museum or cultural venue on a voluntary basis. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for and does not endorse the content of the participating museums and cultural venues, and does not subsidize museums that participate.
