National Museum of Art/Neyt Hall

The Neyt Hall contains the majority of the National Museum of Art's impressionist work. This hall and the majority of the paintings were financed by President Pieter Van Neyt. Most of the paintings in the hall were purchased in the 1920s from Van Neyt's family collection.

The works
A majority of the collection is composed of paintings by Edouard Manet. The Van Neyt's admired his work deeply and acquired numerous amounts of paintings in the early 20th century.
