The rebellious spirit of Impressionism versus academic art and new approaches to constructing images had an enormous impact on art world practices and trends that reverberates to this day.
This exhibition of prints and drawings from the museum's collection highlights the Impressionist era between 1860 and the turn-of-the-century, when artistic interest in various traditional printmaking techniques was revived and put to use in new and experimental ways.
Corot, Millet, Manet, Tissot, Cassatt, Degas, Pissarro, Bonnard, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Vuillard are just some of the artists whose works are on view.
The exhibition will take place until June 18, 2006.

American artist David Smith is one of the most important sculptors of the second half of the twentieth century.
A contemporary and friend of Willem de Kooning and Arshile Gorky, Smith pioneered welding in sculpture.
He is best known for his innovative and remarkably diverse large-scale metal pieces constructed from used machine parts, abandoned tools and scrap metal.
Often executed in series, his sculptures are largely abstract but consistently evoke the human figure.
This exhibition features about fifty works lent from public and private collections around the world.
The exhibition will take place between 1 November 2006 and 14 January 2007.

This retrospective exhibition explores the collaborative practice of contemporary Swiss artists Peter Fischli (b1952) and David Weiss (b1946).
Since the beginning of their partnership in the late 1970s, Fischli & Weiss have continually delighted in the commonplace and the absurd, expressing their subversive humour through sculptures, photographs, installations, films and videos.
This exhibition traces the artists' manipulation and transformation of everyday materials, explores their recycling of ideas, themes and objects, and considers the almost childlike spirit of discovery central to their oeuvre.
The exhibition will take place until 21 January 2007.

This exhibition focuses on the first half of the career of the great Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944), one of the most important figures in the development of abstract art.
The exhibition charts his path towards abstraction in the period from 1902 to 1922, and looks at the consequences of these new discoveries during the turbulent years of the First World War and the Russian Revolution.
Featuring many of his best-known paintings and a number of works which have never been seen in this country, the exhibition will comprise around fifty-five paintings and twenty-five works on paper.
The exhibition will take place between 22 June - 1 October 2006.
