The hottest collab of fall is coming to The Brooklyn Museum with "Monet and Venice," an exhibition that aims to display Claude Monet's Venetian paintings. From October 11 until Feburary 1, 2026, this will mark the first dedicated exploration of Monet's luminous Venetian works since their debut in 1912.
The exhibition places Monet's Venice works in context with other select paintings from key moments throughout his career. Also expect paintings by artists such as Canaletto, John Singer Sargent, J. M. W. Turner and Pierre-Auguste Renoir to create further dialogue.
The exhibit will offer further engagement through immersive elements, including an original symphonic score inspired by the artist’s Venice paintings by the Brooklyn Museum’s Composer in Residence, Niles Luther. This sonic experience was created with the purpose to capture the Venetian landscapes Monet was painting. Once visitors make it to the fifth floor, they'll be greeted by a large scale visual immersive that conjures Venice’s unique atmosphere. This unique visual and aural experience sets the tone for the journey.
"It’s thrilling to reunite so many of Monet’s radiant paintings of Venice, including Brooklyn's own Doge's Palace, which was acquired in 1920, and is emblematic of the Museum's trailblazing commitment to modern French art," said Lisa Small, Senior Curator of European Art, in a press release about the exhibit. "We are eager for our visitors to 'travel' to Venice and immerse themselves in the unfolding beauty of these dazzling paintings."
