featured expand upon areas of particular
strength in the Museum's collection, including
artists of the Ashcan Circle and the Eight.
Among the exhibition's highlights are John
Singer Sargent's famous Carmencita (1890) from
the Musée d'Orsay; a newly discovered painting
by Mary Cassatt from a Madrid private collection
never before shown in the United States; and
Spanish old masters on loan from the Prado
Museum.
An app created specifically for the exhibition
includes bilingual audio commentaries and
additional information on select works. The
Artist-Travelers Project, an interactive website,
allows visitors to see the guidebooks the artists
used, letters they wrote, routes they took, and
more. Both are available at mam.org/americans-

Admission to the Museum is by advance ticket
purchase at mam.org/visit. Face coverings are
