Claude Monet did not want to travel to Venice in 1908 — at the time, he was 68 and working on his famed water lilies paintings, and only reluctantly agreed to accompany his wife Alice Hoschede.The highlight of “Monet and Venice” is a room showcasing the French master’s paintings accompanied by music, with a symphony created for the occasion by the museum’s composer-in-residence, Niles Luther.
