If You’re Feeling (a Little) Anguished: Edvard Munch: A Poem of Life, Love and Death. If you think you know Munch based on his iconic work The Scream, think again. There’s more anguish and despair where that came from—a lot more, as this 100 artwork show demonstrates again and again. There’s more to Munch, too: Exquisite winter tableaus and (almost?) upbeat beach scenes round out more than 60 years of febrile creativity. Through Jan. 22, 2023

The Orsay, housed in an elegantly repurposed train station, picks up where the Louvre leaves off (19th-20th centuries). Conservative salon art and Neoclassicism give way to Manet, Monet, Degas, and Renoir and their colorful, lively invention — Impressionism. Then see their artistic descendants, the Post-Impressionists: Cézanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Renoir, Seurat, and Toulouse-Lautrec, plus Rodin sculptures and Art Nouveau. Reserve ahead online, and hit the highlights on my free Orsay audio tour.
