The exhibition brings together for the first time in 120 years Claude Monet51²è¹Ý¶ù extraordinary series of paintings of the Thames in London. Begun during three stays in the capital between 1899 and 1901, these extraordinary paintings of the Houses of Parliament, Charing Cross Bridge and Waterloo Bridge were unveiled in Paris in 1904 to great critical acclaim.
