“Van Gogh, Monet, Degas” tickets on sale April 3



Blockbuster summer exhibition opens June 22

Ticket sales for “Van Gogh, Monet, Degas: The Mellon Collection of French Art from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts” will begin on Wednesday, April 3 at 10 a.m. OKCMOA is the exclusive regional venue for this exhibition, and demand is expected to be high. Visitors are encouraged to buy tickets early to secure their preferred day and time.

“This exhibition offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see iconic French masterworks in Oklahoma City,” said President and CEO E. Michael Whittington. “Most of the artists in the collection are household names, but the Mellons were extraordinary connoisseurs and the works by some of the lesser known artists will both surprise and delight. We highly recommend reserving tickets ahead of your visit.”

“The Mellon Collection of French Art is among the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts' greatest treasures, and the galleries that house them are popular destinations for our visitors,” said Alex Nyerges, Director of VMFA. “We’re delighted to share these incredible works of art with art lovers in Oklahoma City.” 

Featuring more than 70 works by French and European masters including Manet, Rousseau and Picasso, this exhibition celebrates Paul and Rachel Mellon’s extraordinary gift of 19^th and early 20^th-century French art to the VMFA. The blockbuster exhibition will be on view from June 22 through Sept. 22, 2019.
