Permanent exhibits of the world’s preeminent collection of modern and contemporary art include: Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Jasper Johns, Andrew Wyeth, and Marc Chagall. MOMA’s Special Exhibitions Gallery will feature, Take Your Time: Olafur Eliasson, a collection of the Scandanavian artist’s immersive environments, sculpture, and photographs that transform the gallery into a hybrid space of nature and culture. Enjoy lunch at your leisure with many dining options at the Museum or surrounding area prior to a mid-afternoon departure to the Neue Galerie and our private tour. The Neue is a museum devoted to twentieth-century Austrian and German art and design housed in a landmark building once occupied by Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt III and considered to be one of the most distinguished ever erected on fifth Avenue.

Lauder and Serge Sabarsky Collections, including paintings and drawings by the controversial artist, as well as a recreated interior of the receiving room at Klimt’s studio in vienna.

We will arrive at the thirty-acre woodlands complex of the theatre company and receive a behind-the-scenes tour of the costume and scenery shops followed by a catered picnic under a tent on the grounds. The matinee performance in Founder’s Theatre begins at 3PM and features The Ladies Man, written by Charles Morey, freely adapted from Georges Feydeau’s Tailleur pour Dames (The Ladies Dressmaker). Shakespeare & Company’s Director of Education, actor and choreographer, Kevin G. Coleman directs the Northeast premiere of this hilarious adaptation. “A good-hearted story of mistaken intentions and the power of love, The Ladies Man tells the story of a hapless French doctor whose dissembling behavior is hilariously misinterpreted by his beautiful young wife, whose fears of marital infidelity couldn’t be further off the mark.” Following the performance, we will be treated to a brief “talk-back” with the director and Company actors.
