Yesterday, I visited the Shizuoka City Art Museum to see "Renoir et l'art moderne, Collections du Musee du Petit Palais de Geneve". The Musee du Petit Palais de Geneve is a museum in Geneva, Switzerland that is permanently closed, but is loaning pieces of its collection to other museums. Here is some information from the internet:
The Petit Palais in Geneva, Switzerland, owns a rich collection of modern French paintings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The founder, businessman Oscar Ghez, was an avid art collector, and the Petit Palais began in 1968 when he first exhibited and opened the collection to the public in an elegant mansion. The Petit Palais has been closed since the death of Mr. Ghez, but now an exhibition composed of only works from the collection will be held for the first time in 30 years in Japan. This exhibition will introduce the flow of modern French painting from Impressionism to Neo-Impressionism, Les Nabis, Fauvism, Cubism, and École de Paris (School of Paris), with a substantial lineup of 65 oil paintings by 38 artists.

Interesting. Hope you got to enjoy your visit, even if it was crowded!
I've never seen a prohibition on talking at an art exhibition before!
1400 sounds expensive for a show that is very crowded. It if had attracted fewer people, would the price have been ok, i.e. was the show worth the cost?
Looks interesting.
I love Renoir and if I was with you I would have happily gone along. Such beautiful work.
