Score Skip-the-Line Tickets to Denver Art Museum's U.S.-Exclusive Monet Exhibition While They Last
Twelve Denver hotels offer hotel packages that include untimed, undated VIP tickets to the most comprehensive U.S. exhibition of Monet paintings in two decades
DENVER, Sept. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- On Oct. 21, 2019, the Denver Art Museum (DAM) will debut the most comprehensive U.S. exhibition of Monet paintings in more than 20 years with Claude Monet: The Truth of Nature, as seen through more than 120 paintings. Premiering in The Mile High City as the sole U.S. venue, art enthusiasts can now access the exhibition through 12 premier hotel packages in Denver. DAM and VISIT DENVER have teamed up to provide art enthusiasts special exhibition access through unique hotel packages that provide untimed and undated VIP skip-the-line tickets, which guarantee entry at any time during museum hours, even during sold-out times.
Spanning Monet's entire career, the exhibition will thematically and chronologically explore the artist's lifelong interest in nature and the places he traveled. It will examine the shift in Monet's style when he started focusing on series of the same subject, as well as his abandonment of the human presence in his landscapes.
Claude Monet: The Truth of Nature is the latest in a growing series of special exhibitions—world premieres, U.S. and world exclusives and U.S. debuts—originated by the DAM, including Becoming Van Gogh (2012), Brilliant: Cartier in the 20th Century (2014), Women of Abstract Expressionism (2016) and Dior: From Paris to the World (2018).
"After nearly three years of planning this monumental exhibition and securing loans from around the world, we're thrilled to provide a new perspective on such a beloved artist," said Christoph Heinrich, Frederick and Jan Mayer Director of the DAM. "Visitors will gain a better understanding of Monet's creative process and how he distanced himself from conventions associated with the traditional landscape genre of painting."
Curated by the DAM's own Angelica Daneo, Chief Curator and Curator of European Art before 1900, and Christoph Heinrich, Claude Monet: The Truth of Nature is a compilation of works from the DAM, private collections and paintings on loan from museums in Paris, Boston, Chicago and New York, as well as the co-organizing Museum Barberini in Potsdam, Germany.
"With internationally renowned exhibitions like Cartier, Yves St. Laurent, and Rembrandt, the Denver Art Museum has helped to place Denver on the map among some of the top cultural destinations in the country," said Richard Scharf, president and CEO of VISIT DENVER. "With their new Monet exhibition, the museum has not only curated a legacy collection of one of the world's most important impressionists in history, but they have found a way to create a poignant, exhibition that will make its only U.S. appearance in Denver."
