> Claude Monet's The Petit Bras of the Seine at Argenteuil, from 1872
South Shields Museum & Art Gallery
A MONET artwork will go on display at a South Shields art gallery in what has been described as a “remarkable opportunity for the North East”.
The Petit Bras of the Seine at Argenteuil (1872) will be on display at South Shields Museum & Art Gallery from Saturday, having only left the London gallery once in 20 years.
The museum and gallery is one of four hosting the National Gallery Masterpiece Tour, a three-year programme has already brought renowned art to the North East.
Its two previous partnerships were Constable Visits Jarrow in 2023 and National Treasures: Turner in Newcastle at the Laing Art Gallery in 2024, the latter of which saw visitor numbers increase by 50%.
