From November 22nd the magic of the landscapes of Normandy arrives at the Museo degli Innocenti in Florence with the exhibition "Impressionists in Normandy". Over 70 works by Monet, Bonnard, Boudine, Corot, Courbet, Villon, Renoir, Delacroix and many others will be the protagonists of an exhibition that tells of that "irresistible attraction" that these great Masters felt for the French region which became in the nineteenth century a true laboratory of ideas.

150 years after the first exhibition in Paris which marked the birth of the Impressionist movement in 1874, an exceptional corpus of over 70 works has arrived at the Museum of the Innocents which recounts the Impressionist movement and its close links with Normandy.
