Mary Cassatt Exhibit

A new exhibition at the Shelburne Museum focuses on the American Impressionist painter, Mary Cassatt. "Mary Cassatt: Friends and Family" features more than 60 works by Cassatt and her contemporary, Edgar Degas. Cassatt is perhaps best known for her mother-and-child portraits, many of which are on loan from private collections and other museums.

Hear Neal Charnoff's interview with Shelburne Museum Director,  Stephen Jost, regarding the Cassatt exhibit.
