The Vancouver Art Gallery’s popular exhibit of Claude Monet works, Secret Garden, is in its last days. Due to demand, the VAG (750 Hornby St.) has extended its operating hours in these, the last few days of the show.
Claude Monet’s Secret Garden features 38 paintings from the collection of the Musée Marmottan Monet, Paris. It’s the most comprehensive exhibition of the French painter’s work in Canada in two decades. The show closes this weekend, but first-timers, last-chancers, and those wanting a second (or third) look will be able to check out the work from 10 a.m. – 9 p.m. today (Wednesday), tomorrow (Thurs, Sept 27) and Saturday (Sept 29). The show is on until Oct. 1, but Friday and Sunday hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
