Ready to say bonjour to artistic brilliance? The new “French Moderns: Monet to Matisse, 1850–1950" exhibition at the Columbia Museum of Art is a magnifique journey through a century of trailblazing talent.

Earlier this month, we attended the preview party and had an amazing time during this French-themed cocktail hour. With bites from City Grit and live music by Flat Out Strangers, it was a night at the museum to remember.

Now through Sunday, Jan. 5, you’re invited to visit the museum to see this collection of 50+ stunning works by artistic icons, like:

  • Monet
  • Matisse
  • Degas
  • Cézanne

You can see for yourself how each piece paints an unforgettable picture of how art evolved from delicate realism to eye-popping abstraction, with each brushstroke telling a story of breaking boundaries and daring to see the world differently.
