Audio tour for adults
Join us on a tour of highlights of ‘American Impressionism and Realism: A Landmark Exhibition from The Met’ an exhibition organised by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, in collaboration with the Queensland Art Gallery and Art Exhibitions Australia. In this exhibition you’ll see the work of some of America’s foremost painters of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Artists such as John Singer Sargent, Mary Cassatt, Childe Hassam and William Merritt Chase to name but a few. By way of highlighting how Australian artists of the period responded to similar artistic concerns there are thirty (30) Australian paintings included in the exhibition.
