Treasures from the Hermitage and Guggenheim Collections -The Venetian

Modern Masters from the Guggenheim Collection

During the last half of the 19th century, a new generation of artists began to defy traditional conventions of painting and acceptable subject matter. This artistic revolution, initiated by Edouard Manet and the Impressionists, would lead to the radical expansion of the range of formal approaches for artists even as they continued to paint traditional subjects.

Now you can explore this revolutionary period for yourself with Modern Masters from the Guggenheim Collection. This exhibition presents treasured masterpieces from artists such as Manet, Picasso, van Gogh, and Cézanne, that chart their experimental interpretations of the academic themes of portraiture, landscape, still life, and genre.

Don’t miss your chance to view treasured masterpieces by revolutionary artists of the late 19th century at the Guggenheim museum. There is no charge for admission until May 11.

About Guggenheim

The Guggenheim Hermitage Museum is managed and operated by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation.

Designed by Pritzker Prize–winning architect Rem Koolhaas, the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum opened in October 2001 inaugurating a partnership between the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in New York and the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. This unprecedented collaboration enables the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum to present a broad spectrum of exhibitions drawn from these two permanent collections. Exhibitions change every nine months.

The state-of-the-art gallery space for the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum is within the elaborate structure of Las Vegas's Venetian Resort-Hotel-Casino. This enclosed exhibition space houses masterworks from the Guggenheim and Hermitage museums in a unique setting. The museum's exterior and interior walls have been constructed with panels of Cor-Ten steel, which has never before been used as the structure of a museum gallery. The lightly textured industrial metal is intended to evoke the traditional velvet walls of the State Hermitage Museum while providing a stark modern contrast to the ornate architecture of The Venetian.

Open daily from 9:30 AM to 7:30 PM; last ticket sold at 7pm. Public exhibition tours are offered most afternoon and evenings. Call (702) 414-2493 for times and availability. Admission is free. Audio guides are available for an additional fee. For information about the museum, please call (702) 414-2440 or visit www.guggenheimlasvegas.org.
