Te Papa - Monet and the Impressionists
 Monet and the Impressionists is the largest and richest collection of Impressionist paintings ever to come to New Zealand.
This is a rare chance to see over 50 paintings from one of the world's finest collections of 19th-century French painting, held by the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Twenty-seven stunning paintings by Claude Monet – including works from his Water Lily, Haystacks, and Rouen Cathedral series – are displayed alongside Impressionist masterpieces by Renoir, Degas, Cézanne, Pissarro and others.
