"French Moderns: Monet to Matisse, 1850-1950" will be exhibited at the Figge Art Museum in Davenport from Oct. 9, 2018, to Jan. 6, 2019. Featuring 60 works curated by the Brooklyn Museum, the exhibit is a veritable art history course displayed through painting and sculpture, showcasing work by icons including Monet, Cézanne, Renoir, Matisse, Degas, and Rodin.
Many community organizations have partnered with the Figge to bring all things French to the Quad Cities. You can download an extensive program guide from the Figge to help you choose from the myriad of assorted fall programs and events offered not just at the museum, but also at the many collaborating organizations throughout the Quad Cities.
The "French Moderns" exhibit can be viewed without an additional fee beyond the standard cost of admission, thanks to the exhibit's sponsors and the Major Exhibitions Endowment. The Figge continues to offer free admission on Thursdays after 5 p.m.
