Using the work of Monet as a starting point, this exhibition examines the<br />

Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and Avant-Garde artists will be on<br />
display including work by Renoir, Pissarro, Manet, Sargent, Kandinsky,<br />
Van Gogh, Matisse, Klimt and Klee.<br />

historic London town house in Manchester Square. The Collection<br />
includes French 18th century paintings, furniture, porcelain and<br />
armour plus paintings by Old Masters such as<br />
‘The Laughing Cavalier’ by Frans Hals.<br />
A preview to the visit will be held at the Guildhouse on Thursday<br />
25th February 7.00 – 8.30pm when our art history tutor, Richard<br />
Yeomans, will offer some background to the collections.<br />
