Gently reignite your love of looking this summer with an intimate encounter with one of art history’s most influential painters.

Geelong Gallery is delighted to display Claude Monet’s Meules milieu du jour [Haystacks, midday] 1890, an exceptional destination painting on loan from the National Gallery of Australia.

Notice how the edges of the stacks shimmer in the heat, and how sunlight appears to radiate from the forms themselves. With a Gallery Volunteer Guide, explore these shifting effects of light and the finer details of this extraordinary painting in a special slow-looking tour.
