Exciting and inspiring art experiences await you at the Städel Museum during the Night of the Museums.
Monet on the Normandy Coast
The coastal town of Étretat has become a myth—and continues to fascinate to this day. Its cliffs, located in Normandy on the Atlantic coast, captivated numerous artists in the 19th century. The Städel Museum presents a major exhibition dedicated to the artistic discovery of the former fishing village of Étretat and its influence on modern painting. The diverse programme includes everything from highlight tours to workshops for children.
