Free entry

Claude Monet's Haystacks midday (1890) is one of a series of paintings the French artist completed of wheat stacks in a field adjoining his property at Giverny near Paris.

Long revered as Claude Monet's most exquisite series the Haystack paintings are remarkable for the range of light and weather conditions portrayed.

On loan from the National Gallery of Australia through the Sharing the National Collection initiative Haystacks midday is displayed alongside works from Geelong Gallery's Collection by Australian plein air painters of the late-19th and early 20th centuries many of whom played a key role in the development of Australian Impressionism and shared Monet's interest in capturing various effects of light atmospheric conditions and seasonal shifts in nature.

Claude Monet's Haystacks midday is on long term loan from the National Gallery of Australia with support from the Australian Government as part of Sharing the National Collection.

Time: Monday to Sunday from 10am to 5pm
