Review: French Impressionism from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. NGV International
When prospects for overseas travel are bleak, a major exhibition of the work of the French Impressionists is a salvation a beautiful shining oasis in a somewhat gloomy Australia.
When I lived in Cambridge Massachusetts, across the Charles River from Boston, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston was an unexpected veritable treasure trove. Unexpected in that it is not as well known as some of the museums in New York, London or Paris.
But, with more than 450,000 art objects, it is the 14th largest art museum in the world and is famed for its collection of French Impressionism.
