Alison Luchs, who has worked at the National Gallery of Art for 47 years, agreed to learn Gen Z slang and make videos because she wanted to raise interest in the museum’s art.

She never expected to slay.

Puzzle: Claude Monet, Japanese Footbridge

Although Pomegranate just calls this puzzle Claude Monet, the painting is “The Japanese Footbridge” (1899) and is in the collection of the National Gallery of Art – see their collection highlight of it.

Great puzzle – tackle the bridge first (after edges of course) then the browns and lily pads – challenging but beautiful.
