One of the world’s most famous artworks – Meules, milieu du jour (Haystacks, midday), 1890 by Claude Monet – is now on display at the Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre as part of the National Gallery of Australia’s Sharing the National Collection initiative.
The $174 million masterpiece by French Impressionist Monet was officially welcomed to the region on November 1 and will be on display in the Tweed until October 26, 2025.
The painting is one of five works to be shared with the Tweed Regional Gallery from the national collection – the remaining works – Natura morta (Still life), 1956 by Giorgio Morandi and three by Australian artist Margaret Olley – will be shared from February 2024.
Activities and events for audiences of all ages will complement the artwork throughout its two-year stay at the Tweed Regional Gallery, with details to be published on the gallery’s website.
Entry remains free of charge. Group visits and tours must book via the gallery website: gallery.tweed.nsw.gov.au.
