Here, carefully chosen works of Japanese art give us the context for exploring Monet's changing perception of Japan through masterpiece after masterpiece. Surely this will be the exhibition's great contribution - to give everyone who loves Monet's paintings a chance to understand the ways in which he absorbed the lessons of Japanese art, from his first encounter in the 1860s until the final years after the First World War.
Last admission is one hour before closing time.
