About the exhibition
Nocturnes for a small room showed small night paintings and bronzes in one dim room, hung low so they could be seen from the bench.
A room with the lights down
The lights stayed low, close to a street at night. Most visitors stayed longer than they expected, and many came back on a Thursday late opening.
