Harn Museum Nights: | Thursday, November 13th 6-9pm

Harn Museum Nights: | Thursday, November 13th 6-9pm

Museum Nights: Monet to Matisse will transport visitors to the rebellious, impressionist French art movement of late 19th–century France. Mini, university student–led interactive tours of French Moderns: Monet to Matisse, 1850 – 1950 will be offered. This evening will not only celebrate the Harn’s current blockbuster exhibition, but the museum’s 35th Anniversary. Visitors will delight in refreshments, live music by Hot Club de Ville and the opportunity to paint their own impressionist wine or juice glass (while supplies last). Campus and community partner booths include the Alliance Française de Gainesville and UF Center for European Studies. Click to learn more.
