The Brooklyn Museum in New York City has opened a blockbuster exhibition titled "Monet and Venice," showcasing 37 canvases Claude Monet painted during his 1908 trip to Venice. The exhibition includes over 100 artworks, books, and ephemera, alongside works by Canaletto, J.M.W. Turner, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and features an original symphonic score inspired by field recordings from Venice.
