Paris 1874. Inventing Impressionism

In celebration of the 150th anniversary of Impressionism

March 26 – July 14, 2024
Musée d’Orsay

In the fall 2023, AFMO launched a fundraising campaign in support of the upcoming Paris 1874 exhibition and the celebration of the 150th anniversary of Impressionism.

In addition to supporting the exhibition at the musée d’Orsay, AFMO has initiated an Impressionist season in celebration not only of the anniversary and the ever strong influence of this groundbreaking art movement, but also of French-American friendship.

This appeal has been met with incredible enthusiasm and it is testament to the relevance of such a celebration, the influence of Impressionist movement and the strength of transatlantic bonds. Thank You.

Special thanks to our generous donors:
