🎨🇩🇪 A remarkable new exhibition from Berlin has arrived in Houston!
Curator Natalie Zimmer of Museum Berggruen opened the exhibition “Picasso – Klee – Matisse: Masterpieces from the Museum Berggruen” at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, bringing extraordinary works from Berlin, Germany to Texas. It is a collaborative project between the The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and the Museum Berggruen , curated by Natalie Zimmer, Dena Woodall, and Ann Dumas.
