To mark the 150th anniversary of Le Bal du Moulin de la Galette (1876), a masterpiece from the Impressionist collections of the Musée d'Orsay, this exhibition brings together for the first time this major body of work depicting ‘scenes of modern life’.

Co-organised with the National Gallery in London and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, this exhibition offers a fresh look at paintings so famous that it has become difficult to perceive their novelty today. For the first time since 1985 – the date of the last Renoir retrospective organised in Paris – an exhibition brings together a small but significant collection of works (around fifty paintings) from the first part of the artist's career, including his greatest masterpieces.
