During his later years, the well-traveled Monet stayed close to home, inspired by the variety of elements making up his own garden at Giverny with its evolving scenery of flower beds, footpaths, willows, wisteria, and nymphaea. This exhibition of 50 paintings focuses on the series that Monet invented and, just as important, reinvented, in this setting. Includes admission to the Gaugin: A Spiritual Journey exhibition, displaying more than 50 paintings, wood carvings, and ceramics on view for the first time in San Francisco. No-host lunch in the museum café. FAMSF members may deduct $25.
