"The first step in is a stunner."

—

The most frequent comment I have heard between the staff preview, the press preview, and the Member preview of Monet’s Garden is that walking into first gallery of the exhibition is “like walking into Oz.” You think you know what color is, and then you walk through those doors, and it’s like all your senses have been fooling you your whole life. It feels like you can breathe in color. It is intoxicating. ~AR
