Monday, May 27, is the last day to see the popular exhibition Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernityat The Metropolitan Museum of Art-which has over 400,000 visitors to date. The landmark exhibition presents a revealing look at the role of fashion in the works of the Impressionists and their contemporaries. Around 80 major paintings, including works by Monet, Renoir, Degas, and Tissot, and several works never before shown in the U.S., are displayed with period costumes, accessories, fashion plates, photographs, and popular prints to illustrate the vital relationship between fashion and art from the mid-1860s to the mid-1880s, the era when Paris emerged as the style capital of the world.

Also closing May 27 is Street, a video by artist James Nares that serves as the centerpiece of an exhibition by the same name. A recent acquisition of the Museum, the 61-minute high-definition video-which was shot on the streets of Manhattan over the course of a week in September 2011-is shown continuously on a large screen in the central gallery of the Museum's Drawings, Prints, and Photographs Galleries. The exhibition Street includes 60 works of art-selected by the artist from the Met's encyclopedic collections-that situate his video in relation to earlier works that capture the spirit of the street.
