The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, is the only U.S. venue for an ambitious exhibition showcasing the work of French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin (1848–1903).

The first Gauguin presentation of this scope in 35 years, Gauguin in the World offers new perspectives on Gauguin’s life and work; his artistic networks and influences; and his contemporary legacies, both artistic and historical. The exhibition features more than 150 of Gauguin’s paintings, sculptures, prints, and writings.

Gauguin in the World unfolds across six galleries, as the arc of the artist’s career spans his Impressionist beginnings in Paris through final years, with half of the exhibition devoted to Gauguin’s work in Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands.
