Impressions of Monet at Flower Dome
The Impressions of Monet: The Garden floral display presents landscapes that reflect scenes of Monet’s renowned garden in his home in Giverny, France, which features prominently in many of his paintings. Enlivening the display are recreations of Monet’s iconic pink house, scenes from the house’s adjoining garden Clos Normand, and the Water Garden, complete with the distinctive green Japanese bridge often associated with Monet.
The scenes from Clos Normand and the Water Garden are brought to life with a vibrant, thoughtfully curated plant palette that includes flora similar to those found in Monet’s original gardens, such as hydrangeas, weeping willows, digitalis, daisies, delphiniums, and geraniums. Water lilies – the eponymous subject of one of the artist’s most renowned works, the Water Lilies series – also debut in Gardens by the Bay’s floral display for the first time at Impressions of Monet: The Garden.
Travel back in time in the Immersive Gallery with sights, sounds and scents of 19th-century Europe through the eyes of the Impressionist painters who lived during the period. Fresh floral, citrusy or woody scents infuse the space, transporting you to the lush gardens and landscapes where the Impressionists painted their timeless masterpieces.
