Diary Date: Monet and the Impressionists, October 11 – January 26, Art Gallery of New South Wales
Making the trip from the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, this exhibition will only be showing in Sydney and it would be worth your while to make the effort to see 29 works by the master of Impressionism, Claude Monet, exhibited alongside other works by names including Renoir, Pissarro, Cezanne, Degas and Rousseau, many of which have never been seen in this country, artgallery.nsw.gov.au

With its rustic, nautical theme, in keeping with Stockholm’s seaside location, the Victory overflows with an abundant collection of nautical antiques. Make sure you go to the fabulous restaurant in the basement, Restaurant Leijontornet, where you can dose up on award-winning Scandinavian fare. And the cosy wine bar works a treat too.
