Manet & Morisot Opens

The Cleveland presentation runs through July 5, 2026 in the Kelvin and Eleanor Smith Foundation Exhibition Gallery and is a timed-entry, ticketed installation; the museum lists single-exhibition adult admission starting at $17 and offers a discounted combo ticket with the concurrent Martin Puryear: Nexus show. (clevelandart.org)) Curator Emily A. Beeny, chief curator of the Legion of Honor, organized the project and the exhibition originated at San Francisco’s Legion of Honor where it ran from Oct. 11, 2025 through Mar. 1, 2026. (yalebooks.yale.edu)) Cleveland’s installation presents 36 paintings alongside six drawings and prints borrowed from U.S. and European collections, assembled to show paired comparisons across the artists’ roughly 15‑year exchange. (clevelandart.org)) Major institutional lenders named in coverage include the National Gallery of Art, the Musée d’Orsay and the J. Paul Getty Museum, with loans such as the Norton Simon’s Berthe Morisot work cited in Cleveland’s press materials. (news.artnet.com)) The museum highlights that national reviewers called the San Francisco presentation “a marvelous exhibition” and praised its framing of Morisot as an artistic equal to Manet, an argument underscored in press and scholarship suggesting Manet increasingly echoed Morisot’s late-career choices. (clevelandart.org)) The touring exhibition is paired with a 352‑page Yale University Press catalogue published in association with the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, containing 208 color illustrations and essays by Emily A. Beeny and other scholars. (yalebooks.yale.edu)) Cleveland is scheduling docent-led gallery tours and public programs throughout the run, and the museum lists private-tour arrangements for adult groups of 10 or more via grouptours@clevelandart.org or 216‑707‑2752.
