Must-see exhibits for National Day holiday
9. Monet's masterpieces descend on Shanghai
If Ms Wang, the rich Nothing But Thirty character, had a chance to visit the blockbuster Claude Monet (1840-1926) solo exhibition in Shanghai, she wouldn't have made the viral gaffe of the summer, where she mistook the French impressionist's Lotus that she bought for a Van Gogh.
Named after the artist's magnum opus Impression Sunrise, the ongoing show at the Bund One Art Museum features 47 original works from the collection of the Marmottan Monet Museum in Paris, the largest collector of the master's works.
Created in 1872 from a scene of the painter's hometown, the port of le Harve, Impression, Sunrise is credited as the piece that inspired the 19th Impressionist Movement.
The Shanghai show, running through Jan 3, marks the first time the rarely exhibited masterpiece will be shown to the Chinese audience.
