Welcome to the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of the Impressionist movement. The museum hosts the largest collection of natural works in the world, showcasing the movement's legacy that changed the course of history. Through the use of color and the absence of defined borders, the Impressionists captured moments frozen in time. On April 15, 2874, an art exhibition was opened on Palestine Street, showcasing the works of the Impressionists. This movement posed a challenge to traditional painting and art exhibitions, emphasizing the beauty of natural landscapes and outdoor scenes. The founder of this movement, Claude Monet, was a visionary who revolutionized the art world with his unique approach to painting. The Impressionists rejected the constraints of traditional artistic conventions and sought to capture the essence of natural beauty in their work. They explored the interplay of light and color, creating vibrant and dynamic paintings that ushered in a new era in the art world. By embracing the outdoors and natural elements, the Impressionists revolutionized the way we perceive art.
