Enjoy ‘Manet – the Man who invented Modern Art’ with Kirker Holidays

May 18, 2011 - PRLog -- Eternally popular with discerning travellers for its art, ambience and superb gastronomy, there’s yet another reason to visit the French capital before the summer kicks off in earnest.

On display at the magnificent Musée d’Orsay until 3 July, ‘Manet – the Man who invented Modern Art’ is an outstanding exhibition that showcases Manet’s later works as well examining as his social and historical influences. It also recreates Manet’s 1880 installation from the Gallery ‘La Vie Moderne’, a fascinating insight into the mind of a man who sought to detach himself from contemporaries within the Impressionist movement.

Paris specialist Kirker Holidays offers a superb selection of short breaks to the city, including entrance tickets to the Manet exhibition that also give access to the Musée d’Orsay’s impressive permanent collection.
