In one room.


If you pop by Venice, Italy right now and head on over towards the Palazzo Ducale you may be able to catch the end of the Manet. Return to Venice exhibition.

And by God is it worth it.

"It will include about 80 paintings, drawings and prints, and has been planned with the special collaboration of the Musée D’Orsay in Paris, which possesses the largest number of masterpieces by this extraordinary painter."

This exhibition opened in April and was meant to close in July but has been extended till September 1st.  And if that isn't proof as to how amazing it is, check this out.

I witnessed Manet's Olympia and Titan's Venus of Urbino side by side.

The exhibition includes some of his earlier sketches as well as his most famous paintings.
Best "stumble upon" exhibition of my Eurotrip 2013.
