Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown is opening this weekend Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in Bohemian Paris, an exhibition incorporating about sixty sketches, drawings, book illustrations, ads, and original posters brought from Herakleidon Museum in Athens, Greece.

To complement his work, Fenimore Art Museum has included in this show costumes from several productions of La Bohème at The Metropolitan Opera in New York City, as well as some photographs, playbills, and props representative of La Belle Époque. The show will remain on view through September 5. Learn more at fenimoreartmuseum.org.
