Late Renoir, the latest exhibition to arrive at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, opens to the public tomorrow, June 17th. This show centers itself around the work done by Pierre-Auguste Renoir during the last three decades of his life and features 92 pieces, 79 of which were done by Renoir. The pieces by other artists are included in the exhibition to show the ways in which Renoir influenced many of the artists who followed him.

This is the final stop for the show and the PMA is the only east coast venue. Before it came to us, it was in Los Angeles and Paris. The show is larger in Philadelphia than it’s been anywhere else, thanks to the fact that the PMA can enhance the show’s collection with works from their collection, as well as loans from area collectors (there are 181 Renoir works alone in the Barnes collection).

This show will be on display June 17 through September 6, 2010. Tickets cost $24 for adults, $22 for seniors, $20 for students and $14 for children ages 5-12. Kids ages 4 and younger are admitted for free. Museum members are eligible for discounts, click here for more details. There’s also a discounted rate of $19 for week-day, afternoon tours.
