After years in the planning and strategic facilitating of loans, then couriering priceless artworks 17,000 kilometres across the Pacific, NGV International’s major 2021 blockbuster French Impressionism, was forced to close after running for just 30 days (21 days before its first lockdown and then a further nine before its second).
However, the exhibition of over 100 masterpieces by Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, Mary Cassatt and Berthe Morisot, among others, from Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts (MFA), will now return to Australia for its intended four-month run, from 6 June to 5 October 2025.
