In 1870s Paris a group of radical young artists led by Monet, Degas
and Renoir decide to take on the art establishment and stage their
own exhibition, independent of the enormous state-run art show -
the Salon. It was a completely new idea that would transform how
artists showed their work forever. But first they need to find a
venue and recruit more artists to their cause. Then there’s the
nagging question - how are they going to pay for it all? And when
it finally opens, will anyone come? Join James and Alastair as they
tell the story of the First Impressionist Exhibition of 1874, a
turning point in the history of art that marked the beginning of a
now world-famous art movement - Impressionism. If you want to see
