Monet's "Water Lilies"—free to view in Hong Kong. Starting tomorrow (April 24), the Hong Kong Museum of Art will host its annual flagship exhibition, "Blooming: The Art of Gardens in East and West."
The most talked-about highlight of this show is the arrival of two Monet masterpieces from the Art Institute of Chicago—"Water Lily Pond" (1900) and "Water Lilies" (1906). Visitors can enter free of charge and view the works up close to compare the artist's artistic shift, from depicting panoramic garden scenes to focusing on the light and reflections on the water surface.
For the first time in HK, the exhibition brings together a total of 106 curated works and cultural relics from major institutions, including the Palace Museum in Beijing, the Art Institute of Chicago in the US, the Palace of Versailles in France, and the Hong Kong Museum of Art.
