Get ready to dive into awe-inspiring exhibitions.
How does a trip to Venice with Claude Monet sound? Opening in October, Monet and Venice will be New York’s largest museum show dedicated to the artist in over 25 years. Get your tickets now.
In the meantime, head to our (very air-conditioned) galleries for a sculptural comic book of 1970s New York, Christian Marclay’s latest cinematic exploration of everyday objects, a celebration of the Brooklyn Museum’s 200-year history, and so much more.
On August 3, we say goodbye to Consuelo Kanaga: Catch the Spirit, a stunning retrospective of this under-recognized artist. The Wall Street Journal praised the exhibition for highlighting Kanaga’s “relentless experimentation, poignant portraits and dedication to detail.” Catch the spirit before it closes.
