Denver Art Museum opens massive Monet exhibit

Denver Art Museum’s highly-anticipated exhibition — Claude Monet: The Truth of Nature — opened on Oct. 21.

DENVER — The most comprehensive exhibition of Claude Monet paintings to arrive in the United States in more than two decades opened at the Denver Art Museum (DAM) on Monday. 

"Claude Monet: The Truth of Nature" will be open Oct. 21, 2019 through Feb. 2, 2020.  

The 20,000 square foot gallery space includes more than 125 paintings spanning the entire career of the famous French impressionist.

The exhibit "uncovers Monet’s continuous dialogue with nature and its places through a thematic and chronological arrangement, from the first examples of artworks still indebted to the landscape tradition to the revolutionary compositions and series of his late years," according to the museum.

The exhibit also examines the shift in Monet’s painting style when he began to focus on series of the same subject, including artworks from his series of Haystacks, Poplars, Waterloo Bridge, and Water Lilies.

According to the museum, the exhibit also delves into Monet's interest in capturing the quickly changing atmospheres, the reflective qualities of water and the effects of light. 

Tickets cost $22 for members and $27 for non-members. It's $5 for kids between the ages of 6 and 18. Kids 5 years and under are free.

Denver will be the only North American destination to host the exhibition.
