Hours Extended for 'Cezanne'

Because of the Cezanne exhibit's overwhelming popularity, the National Gallery has just announced that it will offer extended viewing hours May 6-7, the exhibit's final weekend. "Cezanne in Provence" will be open until 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 6, and 8 p.m. on Sunday, May 7. After 5 p.m on Saturday and 6 p.m. Sunday, visitors will only be allowed access to the Cezanne exhibit and must enter the West Building through the doors at 4th Street and Constitution Ave.

This weekend (April 29-30) the exhibit will be open for its usual weekend hours, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. The extra hours will certainly allow for more visitors to see the exhibit, but you will likely still battle crowds both this weekend and next. Bring a book, Sodoku, iPod -- anything to pass the time you'll spend waiting in line.
