Monet: Inspiring the Senses
Friday 19 June - Sunday 13 September 2026
Ferens Art Gallery
Delve into Claude Monet’s world of composition and colour, and experience his work as never before with sound, smell and touch transporting you into his artwork.
Monet’s The Petit Bras of the Seine at Argenteuil (1872) is presented at the Ferens Art Gallery in a multi-sensory exhibition inspired by the artist and his work.
On loan to the Ferens as part of The National Gallery Masterpiece Tour 2025–27, the Monet will be shown alongside paintings from the Ferens’ own collection. Flourish, a group of disabled and/or neurodivergent children and young people from Hull, have created multisensory artworks including canvases inspired by Monet. They have also contributed to an immersive soundscape, produced by local music practitioner, Donna Smith.
