Art Escape | Adelaide – Monet to Matisse

Some exhibitions are simply worth travelling for----
Our Journey
Join AAA Art Lovers for a cultural escape to Adelaide to experience
Monet to Matisse Defying Tradition ---
an extraordinary international exhibition featuring 57 masterpieces from the Toledo Museum of Art (USA).

We'll also visit JamFactory and Immersive Light & Art (ILA) before ending the day with good food, great conversations, and perhaps a friendly debate over which masterpiece we'd happily take home—if only our walls (and wallets) were big enough.
