Nineteenth-Century European Paintings and Sculpture Galleries, 2nd floor
In an annual event, the 53 paintings, drawings, and watercolors that compose the Annenberg Collection of Impressionist and Postimpressionist masterworks are once again on view in the Museum’s Nineteenth-Century European Paintings and Sculpture Galleries. The collection, acknowledged as one of the most distinguished private collections of its kind, includes the work of 18 of the greatest artists of the 19th and early 20th centuries, among them Manet, Monet, Renoir, Cézanne, van Gogh, Gauguin, and Picasso. Assembled by the Honorable Walter H. and Leonore Annenberg, the collection is loaned generously by them to the Metropolitan for six months of every year.
