Introduce: To commemorate the 150th anniversary since the inaugural Impressionist Exhibition in 1874, this exhibition brings together approximately 70 representative works by Monet from both domestic and international collections. Focusing on Monet's iconic motifs widely beloved in Japan, such as "Stacks of Wheat" and "Water Lilies," which have become synonymous with the artist, the exhibition explores the painter's lifelong dialogue with time and light. Emphasizing his "series" or "serial works," the show delves into Monet's relentless pursuit of capturing the nuances of changing atmospheres.

Additionally, the exhibition introduces pre-Impressionist works, including the monumental piece "Luncheon," which marks the beginning of Monet's career as a leading figure in the Impressionist movement after departing from the Salon (official art exhibition). This work, unveiled for the first time in Japan, serves as a pivotal moment in Monet's artistic journey. Witness the entire exhibition comprising exclusively Monet's creations, offering a grand exploration of the innovative artistic world shaped by Monet.
