Exhibition Opening: Manet & Morisot at The Legion of Honor
Exhibition, Exhibition Opening
Edouard Manet, The Balcony (detail), 1868–1869
Villa Albertine is proud to promote the upcoming Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco exhibition, Manet & Morisot.
Experience the first major exhibition dedicated to the artistic exchange at the heart of Impressionism, and the friendship between French Impressionist Edouard Manet and American-Born artist Berthe Morisot. We invite you to visit the Legion of Honor to experience these groundbreaking artists and explore themes of intercultural friendship and the reciprocal artistic exchange.
Until now, their story has been told primarily as one of Manet’s influence on his female colleague and occasional model, Morisot. Manet & Morisot sets the record straight, exploring these artists’ mutual influence and parallel evolution. From their first encounter and Manet’s impact early in Morisot’s career to his final years, when he increasingly emulated her subjects, colors, and even her free, open brushstrokes, this exhibition invites you on a journey through a friendship that shaped the course of modern art.
On view through March 1st, 2026.

Together, the de Young in Golden Gate Park and the Legion of Honor in Lincoln Park make up the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the largest public arts institution in the city and one of the largest art museums in the United States. Both sit on the land of the Ramaytush Ohlone, the original inhabitants of the San Francisco Peninsula.
Opened in 1895, the de Young is home to American art from the 17th century through today, textile arts and costumes, African art, Oceanic art, arts of the Americas, and international contemporary art. Opened in 1924, the Legion of Honor showcases European painting, sculpture, and decorative arts, ancient art, graphic arts, and contemporary art.
