Claude Monet’s paintings are about to make an impression with Winnipeggers.
Beyond Monet: The Immersive Experience, an exhibition that uses video projections of Monet’s works accompanied by classical and contemporary music, will be shown at the RBC Convention Centre from Dec. 1 to Jan. 4.
The French Impressionist painter (1840-1926) is known for paintings such as his Water Lilies series, roughly 250 pieces he created between 1897 and 1926, and 1875’s Woman With a Parasol. His style laid the foundation of the Impressionist movement that revolutionized the art world in the 19th century.

Beyond Monet features 400 of Monet’s paintings, projected onto the walls and floors of a 30,000-square-foot ballroom at the RBC Convention Centre until Jan. 4.
Monet’s works are so synonymous with Impressionism that the movement got its name from his 1872 painting, Impressions, Sunrise, which is of a person rowing a boat in the early-morning hours.
Montreal’s Normal Studio, the same company that made similar video portrayals of Vincent Van Gogh’s works to the convention centre in the past few years, created Beyond Monet, which is produced by Winnipeg’s Paquin Entertainment.
Four hundred of Monet’s paintings will be projected onto the walls and floors of a 30,000-square-foot ballroom at the convention centre, one at a time, accompanied by classical and contemporary music.
Timed-entry adult tickets are on sale at beyondmonet.com and sell for $40.99, including fees. The price is $38.99 for 65-plus and students 25 and younger. VIP passes go for $75.99 each, which would allow entry at any point during the day.
The exhibition is also offering evening presentations of both the Monet and Van Gogh immersive shows on select dates during the month-long run for $60.99.
