The exhibition "Passages" is leading the way with its ancient text materials, antiquities and scrolls with the third-straight weekend run in Atlanta.

"Passages: Experience the Bible Like Never Before" is described by organizers as a sleeper at first, but audiences to the tune of more than 63,000 in Oklahoma City woke up and caught the knowledge train earlier this year. Its run ended there recently and made it a successful family event; organizers expect it to be a hit with youth and adults in Atlanta beginning in January.

Simply entitled Claude Monet (1840-1926), the exhibit at the Grand Palais on the Champs Elysées will put almost 200 works of the much-loved impressionist painter on display.

Richard Thompson, the exhibition's British co-curator, it was the largest single collection of Monets the world has ever seen, and is the first major Monet retrospective in France since 1980.

This beautiful Giverny Bowl is a reminder of the town, 50 miles outside of Paris which for over 40 years was the home of Claude Monet http://www.sidestreetstudio.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=43035
