Experience the pleasure and excitement of traveling through mid-nineteenth century France in the featured exhibition entitled, Impressionist France, during a trip to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Impressionist France explores connections between landscape and national identity during a period in which France was being fundamentally transformed and modernized.

Transportation will depart from the Village Entrance at 8 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 24. We will arrive at the art museum before our tour begins at 11 a.m. A docent will lead us through the Impressionist France: Visions of Nation from Le Gray to Monet tour. Our tour will be followed by a relaxing lunch in the beautiful Rozzelle Court Restaurant. After lunch, the group can disperse to view their favorite gallery of the museum.
