One sign that we are a step closer to the international exhibition Art in the Age of Steam: Europe, America and the Railway: 1830-1960 is that the Museum's website has been updated.
The newly expanded online version mimics the installation planned for the galleries by dividing the information into 6 categories. Each category has examples of the art you will see in the exhibition if you are lucky enough to visit it in person.
For instance, States of Mind includes Time Transfixed by Rene Magritte (above).
Another section, called Impressionists and Post-Impressionists, features three of my all-time favorite paintings, The Railway by Eduoard Manet, Gare Saint-Lazare by Monet and On the Pont de L'Europe by Gustave Caillebotte.
The exhibition will contain more than 100 paintings, drawings, photographs and prints drawn from 64 museums and private collections.
The Nelson-Atkins is the only scheduled stop for the United States. If you can't make it to KC, book your flight today for Liverpool, England. Art in the Age of Steam is on view at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool through Aug. 10.
