Today the Longmont Museum announced its upcoming season with the release of the Winter 2021 Newsletter, now available at LongmontMuseum.org.

The season highlight is an all-new exhibit, opening Jan. 29, titled “Enduring Impressions: Degas, Monet, Pissarro, and Their Printmaker George William Thornley.” This remarkable exhibition includes original works by quintessential Impressionists Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, and Camille Pissarro, as well as lithographs each artist made in collaboration with printmaker William Thornley. 

“This exhibit is one of the first to examine the relationships between Monet, Degas, Pissarro, and their printmaker George William Thornley,” said Museum Director Kim Manajek. “These collaborations uniquely captured the essence of each artist. We are extremely grateful for the opportunity to showcase the works that emerged from this influential moment in time.”

The exhibition runs Jan. 29 through July 18. Cost is $8 for adults and $5 for students and seniors. Longmont Museum members and children age 3 and under are free.
