The exhibition "Monet to Matisse," at Dixon Gallery and Gardens, not only reintroduces the museum's permanent collection but also sets it in the context and history of collecting and provenance. The show, which will be displayed through April 4, was organized by the Dixon's assistant curator, Julie Pierotti.

Dixon Gallery and Gardens was founded in 1976 after a bequest from Margaret and Hugo Dixon, both of whom died in 1974 , left to a foundation their estate and house at Park and Cherry and their collection of primarily French Impressionist paintings . In the 36 intervening years, the collection has grown by purchase and donation, and the museum has moved away from its original emphasis on French Impressionist art or related work of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
