The exhibition showcases beloved Impressionist paintings while also delving into the historical context and artistic variety of the time. The show challenges the myth of Impressionism's origins and its aesthetic concerns. Additionally, a virtual reality experience within the exhibition offers a unique perspective on the Impressionists' world. Despite the passage of 150 years, the famous paintings still captivate and inspire.
