Item Description

Use these four general adult admission passes to the Portland Art Museum. In particular you may wish to consider the upcoming "Gods and Heroes" exhibit which will feature masterpieces from the École des Beaux-Arts, Paris, JUN 13 – SEP 13, 2015.

This rich overview of masterpieces from the École des Beaux-Arts—the original school of fine arts in Paris and a repository for work by Europe’s most renowned artists since the seventeenth century—will include approximately 140 paintings, sculptures, and works on paper dating from antiquity through the nineteenth century.

The exhibition will focus on epic themes such as courage, sacrifice, and death, as well as the ways that changing political and philosophical systems affected the choice and execution of these subjects. Among the featured works will be paintings by Jacques-Louis David, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Anne-Louis Girodet, and Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres; sculpture by Antoine-Louis Barye, Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux, Jean-Antoine Houdon, and François Rude; and drawings by Simon Vouet, Antoine-Jean Gros, and Théodore Géricault.

The winning bidder will have four passes, "Admit One: Museum Guest Passes," each valid for one regular adult admission. Use them separately or all at the same time. No expiration date, so use for this exhibit or others. You'll also receive two copies of the beautiful Portal (Portland Art Museum Magazine) that has wonderful coverage of Gods and Heroes and other museum exhibitions.
