Impressionism at Harvard
The Wertheim Collection in the Fogg Art Museum
Tour of the famous collection of impressionist paintings, donated to the Fogg by Maurice Wertheim. Come and see original Monet's, Manet's and a self-portrait of Vincent van Gogh (with ear).
This is one of your last chances to take a tour – the Fogg museum will close on June 30, 2008 for a major renovation, which means that most of the collection will be inaccessible for years.
