Change in plans: We have been told that the crowds lessen in the afternoon so we will eat lunch and then go to the exhibit.

How did Impressionism begin? Discover the origins of the French art movement in a new look at the radical 1874 exhibition considered the birth of modern painting.

A remarkable presentation of 130 works includes a rare reunion of many of the paintings first featured in that now-legendary exhibition. Revisit beloved paintings by Paul Cézanne, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, and Camille Pissarro and meet their lesser-known contemporaries. See the art norms they were rebelling against and learn what political and social shifts sparked their new approach to art.

Don’t miss the unique chance to immerse yourself in the dynamic Parisian art scene of 1874—we are the only American stop for this historic exhibition.

Join us at noon to view "Paris 1874: The Impressionist Moment". Please enter at 6th and Constitution Avenue and meet the group in that lobby.   Note that this exhibition may be crowded.

After enjoying the show, we will regroup at 1:30 pm and head for a casual lunch at the Cascade Cafe.
