Published on September 9, 2024

Discover the origins of the Impressionist art movement in a new look at the radical 1874 exhibition considered the birth of modern painting.

This exhibition is a remarkable presentation of 130 works and includes a rare reunion of many of the paintings first featured in the now legendary Paris Salon.

Don’t miss the unique chance to immerse yourself in the dynamic Parisian art scene of 1874—the National Gallery of Art is the only American stop for this historic exhibition.

Paris 1874: The Impressionist Moment runs from September 8, 2024 – January 19, 2025 at the National Gallery of Art, Constitution Ave NW, Washington D.C.
