The summer is highlighted by the exhibition Mary Cassatt / Berthe Morisot: Allies in Impressionism (May 24 – September 1, 2025). Mary Cassatt and Berthe Morisot, two artists thrust together due to their involvement in the Impressionist circle, have always served as an interesting comparison for art historians. Morisot proved to the Parisian art scene a woman could have both a family and a successful career while Cassatt held the belief a woman only needed her independence to be fulfilled.
