The Annenberg Collection (Galleries 821–823) includes more than fifty works by eighteen of the most renowned artists working in France during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, among them Manet, Monet, Renoir, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Picasso.

The collection was assembled by Walter H. Annenberg (1908–2002) and his wife, Leonore Annenberg (1918–2009), over a period of four decades, beginning in the early 1950s. The Annenberg gift stipulates that the collection must be exhibited together and always remain on the premises of the Metropolitan Museum.
