Summer

Long days, picnics and heat

Haymaking, river bathing, parasols and picnics: the season of light, painted by the people who loved it most.

The works

The works are chosen when the exhibition is hung, a few days before it opens.

Where the works come from

Every work in the Mouseion is a real piece, out of copyright everywhere, shown from the open collections of the museums that hold it — each label names the original’s museum and links to its page there.
