| - Steve Wynn's passion for art is apparent throughout the Bellagio and visitors can take it one step further and visit the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art. Although the gallery initially housed Steve Wynn's personal art collection, now the gallery rotates art exhibits with the help of museums, galleries and private collectors. The Gallery is open every day and is currently showing works by Claude Monet. The show, which is titled "Impressions of Light", is exhibiting now through January 6th 2013. It is a real delight to be able to enjoy them in Las Vegas since all of the pieces in this exhibit, Impressions of Light, are on loan from the Museum of Fine Art (MFA) in Boston, MA. The MFA has the largest collection of this famous impressionist painter outside of his home country, France.
It was really unique to see purple paint used on a couple of the walls in the gallery instead of the traditional plain white. I am not sure if the gallery is like this for all of the exhibits or if it was just for Claude Monet's Impressions of Light. Regardless, I really enjoyed it.
