SENSITIVE CONTENT STATEMENT:
Some works of art in this exhibition contain nudity, which is an important part of Impressionism. While we understand this content may be sensitive for some, we believe in creating an enriching environment where visitors can learn and engage with the full spectrum of human expression. These images are included to honor the artists’ vision, not to shock or offend our guests.
Some visuals and sustained flashing lighting effects in Impressionists: Immersive Exhibition may affect photosensitive viewers.
