Post-Impressionism: Beyond Appearances

We have started a new season at the museum, and this year the big International Exhibition is about the Post-Impressionism; how it started, why it started, what it was and how it has been influential further on.

We were so lucky this time, to get access to the exhibition already a week before the opening, which is rather unusual! Usually they work until the last minute with hanging, preparing the labels, doing changes and so on. But this time, we had three training sessions this week, IN the exhibition! Sure, it was noisy as they were working around us, but it didn't matter - it is so helpful to get to see the space, and the artworks, to be able to plan our tours.

I am really excited about this exhibition as it has brought us quite a few masterpieces. Just look at this:

The Talisman, 1888, Paul Sérusier:


The palette of Vincent Van Gogh:


Mountain Sainte Victoire, 1890, Paul Cézanne:


Arearea, 1892, Paul Gauguin:


Les Alyscamps, 1888, Paul Gauguin:


The colour palette of Georges Seurat:


Bedroom in Arles, 1889, Vincent Van Gogh:


L'Air du Soir, 1893, Henri-Edmond Cross:


Le Divan Japonais, 1892, Henri Toulouse-Lautrec:


So looking forward to deliver tours in this exhibition!
