On April 15th, 1874 a group of artists including Monet, Renoir, Morisot, and Degas held a radically new art exhibition in Paris. Breaking with the traditional academic painting style of the time, these artists depicted scenes of everyday life and landscapes with visible brushstrokes, dazzling depictions of light, and vibrant colors. Now, 150 years later, a new virtual reality experience allows New Yorkers to travel back in time to this moment when Impressionism was born.
