Contact the Metropolitan Museum in New York City. They sell posters and may be
able to find the one which you want to purchase. Sonnie

The Walters Art Gallery in Baltimore is opening a highly touted special Monet
Exhibition at the end of this month, with a special shop set up to seel
Monet items. They may have your poster, Elaine. Phone: 410-547-0 (oops) -
it's 410-547-9000; address is 600 North Charles St., Baltimore, MD 21201; web
sitr is www.thewalters.org
Hope this helps get you a lead on a poster.

When I visited Giverny, I noticed that about 90% of the Monet painting copies
hanging on the walls had little plaques stating that the original was in the
Marmottan Museum in Paris. The Marmottan is indeed on my list to visit next
time I'm in Paris! You might want to find a fax number or email address for
the Marmottan and contact the gift shop there about prints or posters.
I agree with you about what magnificent experience Giverny and the gardens
are!

Hi......
I believe there is a picture like this in the Boston Fine Arts Museum.
You might call their gift shop and see if they have a poster.....good
luck!.......Regina T.

Bill, thanks for trying. I called, and she said while she will try to see
if they have it, she doubts it.
Are there any printshops in Baltimore that may carry it? Thanks for your
interest. Elaine

Sonnie, you're always there to be helpful. I called Metropolitan Museum in
NYC, and they don't have it. Thanks anyway. Elaine

Elaine, sorry the Walters Art Gallery lead for your poster wasnt more
promising, but it wounds like there are a lot of other helpful ideas
that have come across in response to your query. Hope this all works
aout for you. We know of no Baltimore poster/art shops that might sell
the print. Good luck.
Cheers, WEB in Baltimore

I would also suggest the Art Institute in Chicago which has a large collection
of Impressionist art and a substantial museum shop.

Yes, I second the Art Institue of Chicago's shop. I think that there was a
big travelling Monet show there in the mid eighties. You find find the
poster which you are looking for.
