On the heels of the ongoing exhibition "Botticelli to Titian - Two Centuries of Italian Masterpieces" on Italian Renaissance a new show featuring 50 works by Monet, Degas, Renoir, Matisse, Cezanne and Picasso will open in February, said Laszlo Baan said. The Impressionist masterpieces will be on loan from the art collection of Russian Sergei Shchukin and Ivan Morozov brought together at the turn of the 19th and 20th century, he said.

   
The next exhibition to follow after significant expansion of the museum's exhibition space will be "Nuda Veritas. Klimt and the Early Vienna Art Nouveau " opening in September next year.

The museum will organise three major exhibitions to welcome Hungary's EU presidency in the first half of 2011. The first one "From el Greco to Rippl-Ronai," opening in January, will show several pieces from the one-time art collection of Hungary's Marcell Nemes (1866-1930).

   
The next exhibition, to be organised with Brussels' BOZAR Centre for Fine Arts, will display several works by Lucas Cranach.
   
The third show, to open in June 2011, will be entitled "Cezanne and the Past," and it will be held in the museum's new wing, Baan said.
