"1"^^ . "4"^^ . "A touch of true (not manufactured) French impressionist art in Las Vegas. This city keeps on pleasantly surprising me. \n\nThe Monet exhibition is on view through January 6, 2013. This exhibition showcased 20 works by Monet and eight other works by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Camille Pissarro, and Eugene Louis Boudin.\n\nFebruary 2013 onwards we can look forward to a Warhol series. \n\nThe gallery itself is pretty compact, the audio aids provided are quite easy to use and the gallery doesn't seem to get too crowded to allow enjoyment of these exquisite works. Although I have to mention that the audio provided quite a lot of useless information rather than descriptions of the art work and the artists. \n\nStrangely enough, in addition to the gorgeous art, I was drawn to the walls of the studio that were painted a stunning purple!\n\nThe cost of a ticket here is around $16 for adults ($13 for locals) and children under 12 are free. Pretty reasonable for a priceless experience. \n\nIt's nice to partake in these creative gems without taking an international flight. If only this were a little bit bigger....think the Art Institute of Chicago maybe? We did Smith Center...now for a large museum (that's not mob related) Vegas!"^^ . . "0"^^ . . . "1"^^ .
